On Saturday, I was lucky enough to be a part of Jennifer Shrier’s Baby Shower! I volunteered to make the favors, and we decided on making a CD. The theme of the baby shower was a Mama Bird/Baby Bird, “nesting” theme, so all of the tracks on the CD had to do with birds in some way. Here’s a few shots of how the favors turned out:
As usual, I also knew I wanted to make a diaper cake. Ever since I found out Jen was pregnant, I knew I wanted to buy her these kitty Mary Janes for the top of her cake! This is how it turned out:

And of course, the amazing Joni Newman made the cake and the cupcakes. This was her first time using fondant, and I think she did an outstanding job! Joni can do anything she puts her mind to, and I am very proud to know her! Here’s a shot of her cake and cupcakes – all vegan and delicious!
Overall, it was a fantastic day. We all even got to make our own onesies at the shower! Our host Elizabeth Arzate had the great idea and she rounded up tons of fabric swatches, felt, stamps, paints, and ribbon for us all to make our own creation.
I stuck with my kitty theme:
And here are a bunch of others!
