oh baby!

within the past week i've been to two baby showers.  they are so much fun, filled with the joy and anticipation of new life :)  one was for my cousin who is having a ??? and one was for one of my coworkers who is having a girl :)

here are my baby cakes:
red velvet w/ pink-vanilla frosting.  topped with
pearly white sprinkles and clear sugar + a single silver ball

butterscotch cakes w/ vanilla frosting & sea salt - my specialty!




some things i learned while preparing these cakes:
- making your own cupcake toppers with scrapbook paper, toothpicks, double stick tape, and a circle puncher is very cost effective (and it doesn't take too long.)

- i really love these wilton three tier cake stands

- it is okay to put more than one type of sprinkle on a cupcake :)

looking forward to meeting these two little ones :)

p.s. one week til the honolulu marathon!
