Baby Shower - Cake & Cupcakes

Two weeks ago I have been part of one of my best friend's surprise Baby Shower, who's due date is in  the middle of November. She is such a sweet girl and everybody got together from friends, relatives to work colleagues to make sure she has a Baby Shower party to remember.

As usual, I had to make sure that the ''sweet part'' of the party  is special and unique, just for Andreea and baby Luca.  So, I made a cute white cake decorated with blue baby shoes and hand made writing with the baby's name. Also I added theme inspired tiny decorations such as sleeping baby, stroller, feeding bottle, pacifier and many others.

Besides the cake, cookie pops, white chocolate cookies and vanilla cupcakes decorated with light blue butter-cream frosting and fondant flowers, feeding bottles and strollers.

 I also made a nice bouquet for Andreea that looked so good with the sweets.

Tea Party

Last Saturday I hosted a tea party for some of my friends and neighbors. It was a nice and shinny day outside, just perfect for this kind of party.
We had a really good time together, chatting and laughing. 

For this occasion I made a selection of sweets such as cupcakes, tarts, raspberry - lemon bars and a mini rainbow cake. As my mother was also here, she made her delicious choux à la crème and they were the favorite.

To refresh our selves,  I made a special ice tea blend that I bought from London and also I created my own cocktail.  We also had Hugo, Prosecco, Apple Cider and an interesting turquoise cocktail brought as a gift by my friend Andreea, that was the ladies favorite ;)

Here you can see more photos with what I have prepared for the party. Some of the recipes you'll find later on the blog :) Sorry for the quality of some photos, they were taken with my phone :D 
Enjoy!
