Lucky Charms Baby Shower

I received a custom request for a baby shower with the most unique and fun theme I had heard in awhile... LUCKY CHARMS!

They asked me to create cupcake toppers to go with the theme so I created toppers in the shapes of the marshmallows.

I also made toppers that read "Mommy's Lucky Charm" :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful time celebrating little Prince or Princess Charming!

Happy Easter Deviled Eggs

I saw this idea on Pinterest and decided to give it a whirl. Luckily it wasn't a Pinterest fail!

This was super easy because my husband helped me and because of one super secret time saving thing we did. What did we do? Shhhhh... we bought precooked, peeled hard boiled eggs. So no boiling eggs, and no peeling!

To make them we just followed our favorite deviled egg recipe. The only added extra step is dying the eggs.

To dye the eggs, we put a half cup of water in 4 small bowls, and 3 drops of food coloring. The water looked dark but the eggs still come out a nice pastel color!

We let each of the eggs sit in the water for about 20 seconds and then took them out and set them on a paper towel to let the excess dye drip off.

Make sure to flip the egg over so that the both sides dry off. It only takes about 30 seconds for the eggs to dry and be ready for filling.

My husband, made the filling and put it into a piping bag. He then piped the filling into the colored eggs. It's easy and gives a nice finished look, but if you don't feel like piping, you can just spoon the filling into the eggs.

Our pretty finished eggs!

I put them on an oval platter for serving because I thought it looked like a giant Easter egg!

Happy Easter!

Gender Reveal Party For Baby T

This past weekend my husband and I hosted a very small get together for some of our family.... to announce the gender of our BABY!

Our first baby, Samardzija Puppy, anxiously waiting to hear if she is going to have a brother or sister.

I made the boy or girl onesie banner and it is available in my shop!

We filled aqua vases with hot pink roses and tulips. I sprinkled the table with pink and blue onesie confetti and decorated the chandelier with little matching onesies on gold hangers.

We hung our ultrasound photos with mini clothespins over the punch bar. I made two flavors of punch. They were supposed to be pink and blue but they turned out a little more red and green than I had hoped... They both still tasted delicious though!

I made a gender reveal cake for the party. Usually you ask the ultrasound tech to put the gender in an envelope, and you give it to a baker so that you yourself don't know the gender until you cut the cake. But my husband and I both wanted to hear the gender directly from the doctor. The cake reveal was just for our family.

I purchased a pink and aqua sprinkle mix from Sweetapolita to decorate the outside of the cake. The mix was called Jersey Shore :) The inside of the cake would be either pink or blue.
