Paper Goods

Jackie had contacted me to make some paper goods right before I went on maternity leave.

We made some banners, tags and food tent for different occassions

Jaina's Sip & See

My husband and I hosted a "Sip & See" for our latest addition.

For those who are unfamiliar with this type of shower, it is a party typically given for a second or third time mom and her new baby, a month or so after the baby is born. It is a wonderful way to celebrate the new baby and mommy without any pressure for gifts. It's just a lovely excuse for friends and family to get together!

Of course I made cake pops! :)

I made red velvet baby cake pops and oreo truffles 

custom tags

I went with lavender and brown zebra & giraffe theme 

Mini water bottles with labels 

I also made cupcake push pops

I also made all the other sweets for the party 

 

lavender zebra pattern inside...the color got lighter after it was baked, next time I would add more food color to the batter

As you can see, everything in the Sip and See was all sweets and finger foods. Other finger foods I had were mini sandwiches, lumpia, empanadas, etc. I also had coffee and many teas to choose from. I'm glad everyone got to come over to "sip" on some drinks and "see" the baby :) 

Welcome

Baby Jaina

Oreo Truffles

A couple weeks ago, I made my first OREO truffles and trying another attempt at cake BALLS. I made some for my 13 year anniversary for my hubby, I was out of sticks since I was on maternity leave and haven't been able to go the store. I don't think I want to anyways since I would have to load and unload THREE kids from their carseats! It feels forever already just to load them into the car and into their carseats! hehe!

I've been having a hard time dipping cake balls into chocolate and keeping it smooth so that's why I have always used lollipop sticks. I still can't get it as smooth and the bottom isn't so hot either but the mini cupcake liners and drizzle helps cover all the imperfections! Thankfully Hubby doesn't care about looks! He's all about taste! :))))

Yumm!!! I love the taste of OREOs!!!

Happy 13 Year Anniversary Martin! ♥
