Bridal Shower Invitations

I am planning my sister's bridal shower in Texas for this spring. She decided on a "kitchen" theme. I received an invitation to a kitchen shower last summer for my friend Kate. The invitation was an apron and in the "pocket" was the shower information. I tried my hand at making these for the shower invites.

Here is how they turned out. I am very pleased with the outcome. A picture of the invitation with the shower information in the pocket.

The invitation without the information.

And Joey helped out a lot when I was adding the ribbon. One lucky initee will be getting an invitation with really stiff ribbon, as Joey had it all in her mouth!

Seashell Cupcakes

These seashell cupcakes were made for my friend, Kenyon's wedding rehearsal dinner. She had a "beach" theme and seashells were a part of her wedding ceremony.

I started by making the seashells with a candy mold and melted chocolate wafers. I used both white and milk chocolate and using a toothpick, swirled the chocolates together in the mold to make the marbled effect. I covered the cupcakes in white frosting and rolled the tops in crushed graham crackers for the sandy look. I attached the seashells with a dab of frosting so they would stick. I was very happy with the result!
