Last Saturday Bianca, Petra and I had the pleasure of throwing our friend Mariah's baby shower. It took a lot of planing, research and time, but it was a lot of fun! B and I made the beautiful "Diaper Cake" you see here. It's a "cake" made out of rolled up diapers, decorated with pretty ribbons and cute baby things.
We all made different simple & delicious dishes: a veggie plate with my a super yummy cream cheese dip, cheese and crackers, mini quiches, Petras' meatballs and my mini biscuits. I decided to make mini biscuits because it's one of Mariah's favorites. I made 1" round biscuits (use your favorite recipe or a box mix) and added some fresh rosemary for extra flavor. After I baked them, I cut them in half and brushed them with melted butter. I filled each one with a tiny piece of bacon and cheddar cheese. Then I warmed them up a bit so the cheese would melt. I thought they came out super cute and delicious.
We also made some really yummy cupcakes. Petra made the vanilla ones (her favorite glutten-free recipe) and I made the chocolate ones and decorated them with this super decadent white chocolate frosting.
The afternoon was a lot of fun and I think Mariah enjoyed herself. I also have to say that B and I had a great time making the diaper cake and would love to make more, so please send the word out!
