When I did my first bridal shower last year, I planned for months. My MIL sews, and I enlisted her help for creating a pink and brown bridal fairy land. I bought the fabric, she sewed no less then 27 pillow covers and slip covers for chairs.
It was a lot of fun!
And a lot of work.
But I discovered a passion for design… and as of late, I have been able to express that passion through baking.
When planning for a recent bridal shower, I wanted to do something whimsical… but easy.
Pretty… but easy.
Personalized and significant…but easy.
This is what I came up with.
I know this picture is totally blown out and hard to see, but I love it!
Sorry. Actually distinguishable pictures to follow.
I made a cake, cupcakes, and sugar cookies, all decorated in a pink and green spring theme.
If you are interested in the super easy tutorial on this design that consists of no more then ten pictures (from beginning to end!)… just let me know.
Wedding season is soon upon us! I cant wait to see all the wonderful and creative ways people decorate and celebrate!

So springy and beautiful! We have four baby showers and a bridal shower at our church in the next two months…I could totally use a tutorial! Maybe I could just use *you*?
Your sugar cookies are always a huge hit! Can’t wait for cake and cupcake recipes and helps! Thank you!
Do you really have to ask if we want a tutorial? 😉 I’m especially interested in seeing how you do the cupcake liner covers. It’s all so cute and I know it’s not as *super easy* as you make it seem! You do such great work and are so creative!
Tutorial please!! I think I have a friend pretty close to engagement, so I know there will be engagement parties and showers! I just took a fondant cake class, so I would love to put to use what I learned! I would love to know how you did the banding on the bottom! Such a fantastic and beautiful blog! Thanks for sharing all your fabulous creations!
Very pretty, Amanda. I am so ready for spring. Are the cupcake holders handmade? Also, I want to know….. how do you keep from eating so much icing when you bake frequently. It is a problem for me, and I don’t bake a cake every week (although I would like to). Have a wonderful day!
