BABY SHOWER..its a girl!
I'm OBSESSED with dessert tables/candy buffets..did this on a budget and went with a pink,green,yellow and flowers theme (inspired by the party invites) and the mama to be's love of flowers!
I think it came out well...a lot of stuff I already happen to have which always helps..when you see something you like (and its an AWESOME price)....BUY IT! Words from a shopaholic ;P
Love the stairs..worked perfectly to hang the tissue balls
TIP:
Bought this vinyl pink,green,yellow"limes" table cloth years ago at Kmart (pink and green are my colors and I thought I could use it for a summer party or a cinco de mayo since its kinda margarita themed)..it was crushed and crumbled..the MAGIC trick to straighten it out..A BLOWDRYER!
My sugar cookie pinwheels-I used my recipe and followed the instructions from one of my favorite recipes from fine cooking
My FAMOUS soft sugar cookies and chocolate dipped pretzel rods made
using a baby themed mold
using a baby themed mold
TIP:
Diaper Cake....I went to costco and bought a huge Huggies 280 count or something ridiculous..didn't need that many(maybe under 100), and you are better to buy the off brand bc they are plan..the name brand has designs. but I made it work. We made mini tissue balls for the diaper cake
Mini Keylime Pie Shooters in the shot glasses
Red Velvet Cupcakes with edible real flowers (whole foods)
I did baby bottle sugar cookies, flowers and spelled out the new parents names. I like personalizing things and who doesn't want there name spelled out in sugar cookies!?
Nutella "Crack Pie" I used the recipe from showfoodchef
Martha's, "Confetti Treats"
Mini Banana Split Bites (from pinterest!) they started to melt bc it was a hot day:( Also homemade macaroons (raspberry)
The Mom-to-be is a vegeterian so I wanted to make sure she had some of her favs(cheese and olives)
I made some little rose toothpicks they were really easy to make (just time consuming) I cut strips of pink paper with a pair of those serrated craft scissors, wrapped them around the tip of the toothpick, than added the little green leaf that I cut out

GOLF THEMED RETIREMENT PARTY
Longevity in a company is a thing of the past...how many people do you know these days that put in 30 plus years at one single company? Not many..so when our office manager retired we wanted to throw him a little party to say, "thank you".
He didn't want anything big, so we threw it in one of the frequently trafficed areas in our Car Dealership..the service drive. Some would consider it the heart of the dealership, so it made perfect sense.
I also thought it made for a nice back ground, no?! We are in the car business so it added some character to my display :)
Golf Theme Dessert Table
Cupcakes Inspired by a recipe in the book, "Hello, Cupcake"
It Got a lil windy when the service door kept opening!
Mini Candy Buffet , made to incorporate a few of my jars somehow!
Can you read what the box says? Look closely than look below at the next picture.....
Hahaha so NOT my sense of humor (sick!) but I thought the guys
would get a kick out of it-they did!
Martha's Confetti Treats (a fav go-to for a dessert buffet-easy,pretty, makes a TON)
my famous sugar cookies! super soft and YUMO!
I can't believe I found at the dutchman's store GIANT oreo wafers, w my homemade cream cheese frosting and sprinkles on the side..too cute!
I also did golden graham treats w mini chocolate chips
I put cake pans underneath the table cloth to tier the cupcakes and used scrapbook paper to add more flair to the display
Another good treat on the right, salted nut roll bars!
