I thought it appropriate on Prince George's Christening day to talk about the baby shower my friend Virginia and I threw in his honor.
Virginia made a delicious punch, chocolate mousse parfaits, and chicken curry balls.
Chocolate mousse parfaits... mmmmm
I have silicone teacup shaped cupcake holders that I thought would be perfect for the occasion.
I made red velvet cupcakes and iced them with cream cheese frosting. Luckily England and the USA have the same national colors so I could use the red, white, and blue non-pareils from the Fourth of July to decorate!
They didn't come out of the silicone molds too easily unfortunately. Next time I will definitely be putting some cake release in first! I also made butter cookies. Which are sooooo delicious and pretty easy to make, though a little crumbly. They didn't have the perfect oval shape I was hoping for.
I made three different types of tea sandwiches: egg salad, the traditional cucumber, and then my favorite, ham, apple, and brie.
We encouraged our guests to bring baby gifts which we then donated to a DC charity - the Sasha Bruce Youthwork.
Me with my lovely co-host Virginia!
Everyone loves an excuse to wear a hat.
