Baby Shower In Blue: Part II
June 8th, 2010
For Part II of a Baby Shower In Blue I wanted to share some more details. With the help of my husband, we made a four-tiered white cake with lemon curd filling and a lemon butter cream frosting. For the topper, I ordered some blank nesting dolls
Each seat at the table had a crossword puzzle based on Allison and Ryan and words related to pregnancy and parenthood. The game was a great way to get people mingling and having fun. To add a bit of whimsy to the table, old fashioned grey and white striped straws adorned each glass. Lastly, for favors, I made little sewn envelopes based on these by Rebecca Thuss. I put wrapped shortbread cookies inside and sealed with a baby pin. Be sure to check back tomorrow; I’ll be sharing the How-To for the fabric favor envelopes!

I am also curious about the little pom poms, also where did you find the straws? Too cute!

Gorgeous simple cake and it sounds so delicious. I love the little favour pouches with the nappy pin – that’s a great detail!

Your spread is a show stopper! I have a few questions about where you got some of your items. Where did you purchase the straws and pom poms? Also, will you be sharing how to make the crossword puzzle or where you got the template?
Thanks!
