Not long after we met, we realized we both had first-born with the same name for the same reason!! Her McKenzie and my Mackenzie were both named after our Mom's family: the same family! My Grandfather and her Grandfather were cousins! What a small, small world.
This week the ladies of the church held a shower in her honor. When I heard about the big event, I knew that I wanted to make cupcakes. Right away I started thinking about the flavors and how I would decorate them. Instead of trying a new flavor, I went for tried and true: Banana Pudding Cupcakes and Sour Cream Pound Cake Cupcakes.
I went to the internet for inspiration on decorations and saw so many cute cupcakes. Baby booties. Pacifiers. Blocks. All so cute. The ones that had little round baby faces seemed to speak to me the most. The cute little cherub faces that "you could just eat". Literally!
I've never made fondant and this was not the time to start experimenting. So I hit Michael's for the right supplies. The Wilton fondants have good flavor and a variety of colors so I went with those again.
I started "making babies" on Saturday afternoon. The little round heads and ears without faces is sort of creepy, but you can see the cuteness emerging..
I whipped up the cupcakes on Sunday morning before church and finished up the decorating afterwards. What absolutely adorable cupcakes. Rebecca and McKenzie were going to love them!
The shower was such a great success. Rebecca got quite a few things on her registry (especially blankets) and we all got to wish her well in the next chapter of her family journey. She loved the cupcakes and will have very special memories for a lifetime. I look forward to meeting Brandon and watching him grow.
Congratulations, my friend!!
Angie
Awesome as usual!
