Shower Recap

Saturday was the shower for Maria.

Despite the insane 24 hours prior (including a field trip, PTA meeting, baseball game, birthday party and a 1 am trip to the grocery store) everything came together.

We kept things simple.


~Menu~


Cobb Salad


Quiche'


Garlic Bread


Fruit Platter


Red Velvet Cupcakes


Pink Lemonade w/ Preseco


I was extremely happy with how the cupcakes turned out. So moist and fluffy, my best batch to date. It was also a really good batch of cream cheese frosting. I used real lemon juice (since I had one on hand that I had used for the salad dressing) and it was a super juicy lemon. Since there was so much juice I left the milk out of the recipe all together. I think I might just skip the milk from now on.


Overall, I would say the shower was a success.


Super Simple, Super Yummy Cream Cheese Frosting



  • 1/2 C butter

  • 8 oz room temp cream cheese

  • 2-3 T lemon juice (fresh or bottle)

  • 1 lb powder sugar

Combine the all ingreds and then mix on med for 5-7 minutes


Enjoy
