Well, I started to organize the office, but somehow always end up here on the computer doing pictures and blogging... I thought I would share the whole process for Abby's cake...
First the inspiration. This is the bedding that Kimberly chose for Abby's room. The walls were already light blue, and Kimberly always loves vintage, antique-y stuff. Soooo cute.
Here are some closeup shots of the bedding.
This was my original plan, but I later decided to do the base layer pink because Kimberly's favorite frosting is cherry.
Then I bought a few new decorating tips and tried to remember how to make flowers. I made them out of royal icing so that they could be prepared the week before the shower. I made one batch of royal icing and it went a looooong way!
I made the cakes on Thursday, refrigerated them overnight, and decorated all day Friday. Luckily, I have very well behaved kids! It turned out great. Not as perfect as the picture in my mind, but I'm still pretty proud.
Then for the MOST stressful part. Packing it up and transporting it to Woodinville, a 2+ hour drive!! We made it without any problems! (Well, besides me missing the exit and having to turn around and adding 1/2 hour on to the drive. Griffin slept pretty much the whole drive, so I'm glad he didn't add to my stress level!)
