Day 266 - Showered with Love

Today I went to Abbey's baby shower, which since has been renamed the Love Shower. It was a lovely afternoon to spend celebrating the impending arrival of baby Cherry. Abbey is a glowing mummy to be and with thanks to the fabulous four organising the shower, is going to have lots of amazing things to share with baby Cherry.

Thank you for the invite and the chance to celebrate along with you Abbey. I can't wait to meet her.

Day 35 - Monique's baby shower

Today we celebrated the upcoming arrival of Monique and Russell's baby. We gathered at Meagan's house on what turned out to be a beautiful day to celebrate with family and friends.

With each sister bringing a plate of food to share, as usual we had plenty of food, some party games and of course presents. Monique was very organised and had a baby registry which made it easy for some to spoil the mum to be. Now the fun begins Monique - finding room for all the goodies you received today.

Thanks for letting me share in this joyous occasion with you today. I can't wait to meet the new addition to your family.

Day 34 - The cake popping continues

Tonight we went back to Morgana's place to finish making the cake pops for tomorrow's baby shower. We had to stick them onto a lollypop stick, ice them with melted chocolate and roll them in the pretty sprinkles.

It was quite a delicate operation as sometimes the chocolate hadn't hardened enough to roll in the sprinkles and other times it had hardened too quickly so you didn't get an even spread of sprinkles.

You would be mistaken if you thought Monique was having a girl. There were a variety of colours for the sprinkles. I happened to take a photo of the pink ones as I thought they would look a little more vibrant in my photo... and I think I was correct!

Day 32 - The cake popping begins

Tonight Myrrha, Morgana, Monique, Meagan, Melanie and myself caught up to begin making the cake pops for Monique's baby shower this coming Saturday. A very interesting process which began with making 3 beautiful cakes, crumbing them, mixing in frosting and then creating the balls which you see featured in today's blog. These balls will now sit in Morgana's fridge until our next get together on Friday which will see us icing and decorating them. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Cake pops are one of these things that I often wonder, who thought of creating such things?
