That was the theme for a baby shower I threw last Friday for my really good friend Camille. It was the first shower I'd ever thrown, and I have probably only attended 4 or 5, so I was very nervous. I know it's crazy when I say this, but I get very nervous and anxious around big groups of people when I don't know them all, it takes me a little while to warm up fully.
But the shower went so well. I'm bummed I didn't get a picture with all the people there or of the guest of honor. She has a nice camera so we took more with her camera. Next party, I may just hire someone to go around taking pictures because it's something I never think about doing, but am always bummed I forget. About 40 people came and went in the 2 hour time frame, so it was a great show up. There were enough people that I knew there that I was my comfortable crazy self, and everything turned out just how I wanted it to. One thing that really made it great in my mind was this cake!! I wish I could take credit, but I just haven't got quite the talent that Marsha has.
I loved it so much, and it was definitely the center of our conversations a few different times in the night. Everyone there loved seeing it, and so many hadn't had a fondant cake before.
The recipe she used to make the fondant was yummy, and the inside was so delicious! She has never had a class on cake decorating, but comes up with such amazing creations. Click

So glad it all went well, and that it's over now, I was too stressed out about it all. Next one, if there is one, hopefully I will be able to relax more. A big thanks to everyone who helped, and my sister for helping with the decorations. I love your plate holder and she and I put the banner together.

Glad it turned out good. That cake is amazing. Was the fondant actually good. The cake I made I had to rip the fondant off....she must have a better recipe. She is very talented as are you Ashley!! Miss you
Could have fooled me about not feeling comfortable around big groups! I remember girls camp where you were the main lead on all the silly camp songs. Awww... what good memories :)
It's easy to forget that you are different in a big group because you are the life of the party when you are comfortable! It looks like a fun party, I love the cake. I'm with Jill, I've never liked fondant frosting, so a good recipe must help.
The shower looked awesome! I'm so glad it all went well for you. It is nerve racking to invite so many people, so I'm glad you could relax and enjoy it. The cake was darling
So cute! Love the banner and food too! 40 people, holy cow! You must have thrown one heck of a party :)

You did a great job for your first party, I would have thought you had done it before! It was so super cute and fun!!
That cake is SO cute!! Did she use marshmallow fondant, cuz that's the best.
Look at you! Everything looks so great!
Wow. That cake was AMAZING! And way to go with the shower. I'm afraid of things like that, too.
oh wow. it looks perfect. you are such a good friend to C&C... and a good sister.
I love throwing a party! I'm glad yours was a success. That cake is IMPRESSIVE. Wish I had the knack for that, but I don't...at all.
