Colorful zebra baby shower...

 Here is the sweet baby shower tablescape I did recently for a wonderful lady who is expecting her first little girl!!  I LOVE the color on this table...so fun!
 I handmade this pennant banner with the baby's name on it for the mommy to be...
 So much yummy food...
 I displayed the shower invitation in a cute pink frame in the center of the table...
 A few colored feathers gave the table some pizzaz...
 We had delicious fruit infused water and raspberry tea punch...
As each guest arrived, they were asked to write on a diaper some sort of message to the parents...this is a twist on the guest book!  This way the parents can read each message as they change the baby's diaper, whether it be in the middle of the day or night!

Bling wedding cake and firefighter groom's cake

 This was my second wedding cake that I have ever made and I'm really proud of how beautifully it came together!
 The bride wanted a simple cake with a touch of bling surrounding each layer...she later added the beautiful fondant flower layer...I think it just made the cake!

 The base was made by family friends of the bride and I think it just made the cake look so grand!
 The groom is a firefighter/EMT in a nearby town and the bride requested that I make his cake look like his firefighter hat...It was so much fun to work to get every detail of the hat down on that cake!

They also provided the cutest base for his cake...really set the tone for the cake!  Really a beautiful wedding!

Black and white farewell reception...

This was the tablescape that I styled for our pastor's family farwell reception. 

It was quite a spread...and it was almost all gone by the end of the evening!

I made the cake and various other desserts that included chocolate covered strawberries, bite size coconut cream pies, bite size brownies with chocolate buttercream frosting and a dear friend made the chocolate chip cookie bars!




















More pictures of the dips and crackers and the mini sandwiches and chips that flanked the dessert table.
 
 And of course, we had gorgeous flowers!

Sweet turquoise and brown bridal shower...

 This was a beautiful turquoise and brown bridal shower for a sweet couple who were just recently married...I also made their wedding and groom's cake so be checking back for those pictures!

 Simple yet gorgeous white hydrangeas set off the sparkling turquoise vase and highlight the table.
We offered the guests peach tea punch...which seemed to be a hit!
 Yummy...fresh fruit served in cupcake liners made each serving neat, tidy and perfect serving size!
 My favorite dessert was the Nutella Cheesecake desserts that were served in small cups with tiny spoons....perfect serving size too!
Bite size chocolate cream pies were a hit with guests...easy to eat and really yummy!

An elegant pink and gray bridal shower

 This was a gorgeous shower all the way around!  The focal point of the shower were these beautiful fresh flower balls...They were hung from gray organza ribbon from the hostess's light fixture along side some sparkling diamond beading.  Truly breathtaking...
 This was the entrance table which later held the brides sign in book for her guests.  It was adorned with a beautiful fresh arrangement and some engagement pictures.

 Views of the whole tablescape from either side of the room.


 Some of the yummy food that was offered at the shower for guests.

 More of the great food...
 Beautiful fresh flower arrangment in the center of the table...breath taking!
 Raspberry tea was offered as well as a lemon tea...
 Another angle of the flower balls...
 Raspberry lime infused water...
  We also offered a variety of hot teas for guests using this gorgeous silver tea set!
