A Few Festive Favorites

With a little addition coming to our family, we've been blessed to celebrate the anticipation alongside wonderful friends and family. Although I haven't been able to capture it all on camera--and even when I have it has just been my phone--here are a few of my favorites... (PS - feel free to let your mouth water)

Exhibit A: My Mother is a Gourmet Chef

Delicate, Delicious Lemon Finger Pies with Whipped Cream
(a Burrup family tradition)

Bacon-rolled Tater Tots, a Personal Favorite
(Reminds me of my baptism)

Hand-Stuffed Mushrooms, Hot out of the Oven

Spicy Peanut Chicken Satay Skewers

Irish Croquets (AKA Sauerkraut Balls)
(Don't let the name deceive you, these were delectable!)

Frozen Raspberry Punch with a Beautiful Frozen Raspberry Ring
A little Tart! A little Tang! Sweet! = Yummy!

Orange, Strawberry, Kiwi, and Pineapple Fruit Skewers - Need I say more?

Healthy and Yummy Veggie Basket!

Ham, Cream Cheese, and Green Onion Roll Ups
(Another baptism memory)

Needless to say, my mother is amazing. I forgot to capture the most amazing brownies I've ever tasted and the darling pink sprinkled cupcakes... but you get the idea, right?


Exhibit B: My Aunt Dixie is a Gem

(At our little family get-together my aunt had this gorgeous baby cake!
Notice the details: the latticing, pink icing detail on top, the design in the fondant--it was so darling and absolutely perfect! And, it tasted delicious as well!) Thanks Aunt Dixie!


Exhibit C: My Friend Anastasia is Amazing

As a gift, my good friend from Russia, Anastasia, gave me a darling diaper cake. It was amazing with pink tulle, ribbon, and even petit diaper safety pins! I'll have to keep this in mind for upcoming baby showers!
