Baby Shower Time!

Cake_7614 Last weekend was the first sunny weather we've had in quite awhile, which worked out perfectly for an end-of-summer party for the little girl who's on her way to my friends.  Their last name starts with Z and her first name will be a Z name too.  :)  I had fun making the 3 tiered cake, which was chocolate with lemon curd filling and lemon cream cheese frosting.  The chocolate & lemon combo was really tasty.
Straws_7627 Love those paper straws.  The tissue paper "poufs" (poofs?) were left-over decorations from another friend's recent wedding and were perfect for making everything look festive. 
Room_7632 Carmel apples and, if I remember right, hibiscus tea – which was so good.   And a little pasta salad…
Pasta_7651 We had the food set up inside and room to eat & hang out set up in the yard to catch the sunny weather.
Tables_7644 The little birds on the cake were actually photo holders from Pier One…
Birds_7663 A really good day ~ even the puppy dog thought so…
Darb_7639 Now we just wait for baby Z's arrival!
