Baby Shower – More . . .

The cake is by “Cakes by Karen” in Northglenn.  It was yummy!!  Amie wanted strawberry cake and it had Bavarian cream inside with buttercream frosting.

I found these hanging metal shelves on decorsteals.com – love them! There are actually 2 of them – one is on the other side.

 

This was our “thank you for coming” table – it’s hard to tell but the flower wreath has fairy lights in it.

 

The basket is filled with homemade soaps by my daughter-in-law (more on those later), they were thank you favors for the guests.

 

This is actually Amie’s bike – I filled the basket with hydrangeas and made the welcome sign.  We had it on the porch as guests arrived.

 

I found this adorable “free download” sign and tags on Pinterest: https://tinyurl.com/y7sm73x8

 

Here was the set up – hard to tell from the pic but there are fairy lights intwined in the greenery and roses.

Wood Pedestal – Baby Shower

Posted on by

I bought this wood slab at Joann’s along with these 4 wood furniture feet.  The balls are flat on one end so I used wood glue to attach them to the bottom of the slab and used this left over stain to stain them.

I’ll use it for other things but made it for the baby shower.

Can’t wait to use it!  Maybe for the champagne glasses?

WOW Me Wednesday! Early

We’ve decided on a Brunch for Amie’s baby shower.  Part of the menu will be my “Chocolate Croissants” (https://tinyurl.com/y8alpu8d) and then I found this recipe for “Lemon Cheesecake Croissants”!  I did a test run on Sunday . . . and if you like lemon . . . you’ll love these!!!!  Needless to say – both flavors of croissants will be attending the baby shower, lol.  Who can choose between chocolate or lemon?!?!  Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

Rolls

  • 1 package 8 count refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 4 oz. cream cheese cold
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. lemon extract (maybe a tad more – taste & adjust to you’re liking)
  • zest of 1/2 lemon

Glaze

  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • zest of 1/2 lemon 

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
  2. Beat on medium-high speed until mixture comes together.
  3. Unroll crescent roll dough into triangles; spoon cream cheese filling onto wider end of each triangle.
  4. Gently roll the dough, starting with the wider end and tucking the corners, into crescent shapes. (make sure the ends are closed)
  5. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased or parchment – lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Let rolls cool on a wire rack.
  8. Once cool, prepare glaze by combining all ingredients until smooth.
  9. Drizzle glaze evenly over rolls.
