Berlea's Mind: Week 18: Baby Shower

This week we had a baby shower for a coworker and I made the Zuccatto cupcakes at the guest of honor's request. The mom-to-be has a horse named Jewel and that is a big part of her life so we went with a horse theme. She already has one little guy and another boy on the way so it was a perfect match. My friend Anna found an adorable template for horses that are joined with brads at the legs. They totally made the theme come together. We also had a chocolate fountain and everyone pitched in to bring all the delicious things to dip. It was kind of a brilliant way to have an impressive shower that was really very easy. I know it was appreciated and that makes it even more fun. Enjoy some pictures of the final presentation.

Coming up this week are Snickerdoodle Cupcakes. I am testing this recipe out because, wait for it, I got an order for 10 dozen cupcakes in September for a surprise 40th birthday party! I am so excited. It's a big deal to me. You never know where this will lead. Maybe nowhere, but it only takes one order to get the word out. I am trying to come up with a name for this potential cupcakery so I can place a business card on the boxes in September. I had a very cute name suggested to me but it is already taken by a bakery in N.J. Lauren suggested "ButterKups" playing off of my initial. What do you think? I would love to hear your ideas!
