Berry Sweet

A sorority sister and college friend was helping host a baby shower for another sorority sister of ours and needed some treats to have at the shower.  The mom-to-be's last name is Berry and they were doing a vintage/county fair/berry themed event.  

When I saw the invite, I knew exactly a few things I wanted to try on the cookies. 

I had seen this trick done by a fellow cookie baker, and wanted to try it!  I also think of doilies when I think of vintage/county fair, so I definitely wanted to incorporate that.   And then, how do you not do some cute little strawberries?!  

Aren't these just the cutest?  They are the perfect size.

She wanted them packaged, so I ended up putting a strawberry with a square cookie in a clear bag and tying them with a coordinating ribbon.  Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of that.  But it all turned about pretty cute and I was excited for my friend to take these to her shower.  

Happy Baby Shower Stephanie!   I'm excited for you to welcome this sweet little girl into your life!

Baby Hayes

It's baby season!  I recently helped host two baby showers back to back for very close friends of mine.  This shower happened to be out of town, but I wasn't going to let a little road trip stop me from making some cute treats for this vintage baseball baby shower!

{I made white chocolate covered Oreos, decorated like baseballs; strawberry cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting; and classic vanilla cake}

{This baseball is NOT made out of sugar! :) It's a paper-weight from Hobby Lobby}

{Some of the girls came up with this cute way to display old-fashioned sodas}

{Strawberry cupcakes with handmade cupcake picks}

{My friend and mom-to-be, Courtni, LOVES Oreos; so, these were perfect!}

I had so much fun helping host this shower and we loved celebrating Courtni and Baby Hayes!  We can't wait to meet you sweet boy!!!
