carrot cake cupcakes with yellow cream cheese frosting
the baby shower was for my childhood friend and her hubby, they're expecting their first child in december. i made carrot cake cupcakes adapted from Sweetopia with cream cheese frosting that i colored yellow to match their theme. and chocolate cupcakes (that i made recently for my SIL) adapted from Glorious Treats with baby blue buttercream frosting. the shower was so much fun. i saw friends that i haven't seen in a while and there were soooo many babies! and dogs! i've never seen so many dogs at a baby shower. they had a jumpy house for the kiddies so we didn't see them much because all their time was spent in the jumper.

this was my first real "gig" so i was nervous and excited. it was great because i was able to network with a few folks at the shower and hopefully that will turn into more business in the months ahead.
so amazing that in one week we celebrate the life of a new baby to be born and mourn the loss of a wonderfully loving grandmother. se la vie.
up next: i overcome my fear of royal icing and sugar cookies.
