Our baby shower was on Saturday, September 26th at The Gazebo in Warren. We had a great turnout (76 people), great food and received many, many wonderful gifts. We are very blessed to have so many generous friends and family.
I am not a pastel pink and blue kind of person. From the start I knew that our shower would be end of summer/beginning of fall, so I decided I wanted a fall themed baby shower. Everything that would normally be pink and/or blue was either red, yellow, orange, green, etc. NO PINK OR BLUE ALLOWED! The favors were the apples, the centerpieces were HUGE mums, and the cake was a cascade of cupcakes, some decorated with sunflowers on them, some with just frosting and the small cake on top had fall colored stripes and a baby in a peapod on the top with a sunflower umbrella over it. LOVED IT! My best friend, Lisa, is a cake decorator in Traverse City and she designed all of it for me. She did a wonderful job, and the cupcakes were AMAZING!
We dipped and decorated 107 apples, thinking we would have plenty leftover for ourselves after the shower. NOPE! We ended up with 6! It's a huge compliment to all of us who decorated them a few days before because at a lot of weddings and showers people either forget or do not want the favors, so they are left behind, money wasted. At least we knew that people were going to eat them, or give them to someone who would eat them.
Thank you to everyone who came to the shower, we hope you had a great time!!!
