Last weekend I helped host a bridal shower for my college roommate Amanda in Dallas. My proudest contribution (other than the previously posted bridal shower invites that are a close second) were the cupcakes. Since I don't live in Dallas my mom was a huge help finding a bakery and handling the details. We got vanilla and Mexican chocolate cupcakes with icing similar to the color of the bridesmaids dresses. Most had a daisy accent to represent one of the bride's favorite flowers and the bride's cupcake had an edible "A". Can you tell by that long description of the cupcakes that I was really excited about how they turned out? They tasted fabulous!
The shower was held at the home of the parents of one of the bridesmaids. The moms and bridesmaids present pulled together a spectacular shower spread. (We definitely missed the friends who were not able to make it.) We even got to use fine china!
Amanda put on her best bridal smile. Gift cards were my favorite wedding gift because they were portable and provided numerous options.
Amanda was very excited to receive her prized Kitchen Aid mixer from all her favorite ladies! Big thanks to her sister Laura for making it happen! (She didn't look nearly as excited when we dropped off the stackable washer and dryer. For those of you who are wondering...it traveled well and is already happily swishing away at its new home.)
Congratulations Amanda! Only about one month to go!

she may not have appreciated it then. just wait until she has to do laundry for the first time...or has to buy her own washer and dryer for the first time in the years to come.

Beautiful cupcakes!
