Peggy's Baby Shower

Peggy is having a baby!

And there was a shower to honor mommy-to-be and baby Giulianna. Peggy's sister, Arlyn, told me she wanted a banner and owls to go in the centerpieces then gave me free creative reign. 

I fell in love with this adorable owl from Miss Kate Cuttables and after putting them together and adding the crystals I almost didn't want to part with them.

For the cookies, third time was the charm with the cookie cutters. The first one was too big, the second too small, but finally the third cutter arrived from Copper Gifts and was just right!

All wrapped up for shower favors:

I also made cake pops, cookie bars, and churros with raspberry sauce.

So much fun and I can't wait to meet Giulianna!!

Misc. Update

A few pictures to update different projects I have done for friends. 

Football and cheerleader cookies: 

These Chocolate Almond Clusters are a recipe courtesy of Giada (here) and are one of my friend Kendra's favorites. They were her only request for her bridal shower.

They have to be watched while in the oven once the carmel begins to bubble they have been overcooked and become hard rather than chewy. 

But the final product makes a cute little treat.
