Tea for Two... and Two for Tea

This past weekend, I hosted my first bridal shower... Boy was I not anticipating the amount of work that has to go into planning. There's the venue, the guest list, the menu, games, favours and so much more to think about! Thankfully the shower was for my best friend, Ashley (my baking side-kick and roommate), she is not fussy about things... Me on the other hand, like things just so.

We decided to have a tea-party themed shower, because Ashley loves tea! She and I scoured the local thrift shops for the prettiest, most dainty, English teacups we could find. The teacups - coupled with my mom's teapots and silver serving ware, the shower turned out to be a beautiful sight.







There were about 30 women who came to support Ashley and lots of them were generous, bringing tons and tons of desserts! I am so thankful, because I was not sure if there was going to be enough dessert. *Pictured above are the desserts I made, along with some yummy European pastries from my friend's bake shoppe. I made tea-inspired sugar cookies, coconut macaroons, ginger molasses cookies, Scottish shortbread cookies, coconut cream pie and apple cinnamon cupcakes*. As well we served sandwiches with all kinds of teas and home-roasted flavoured coffees.

All in all, I think the shower was a success! I would like to give a BIG thanks to my mom, for all her hard work, planning, running around and all of the beautiful fresh flower arrangements.

Bonnie Gordon Cakes

If you don't know who that is... you have been hiding under a rock! Bonnie Gordon is an expert on everything cakes and she has opened up a school (bearing the same name) in northern Toronto. As a Christmas gift from my boyfriend (now FIANCE!!), he enrolled me in a one day workshop at the school all about cupcakes! I had not had so much fun in quite a while and the class was small, where women gathered together to learn and help each other out! I was equipped with a set of recipes which I hope to test out here at home and some new knowledge to decorate! Here are the yummy, I mean lovely, cupcakes that I had the pleasure of making (and eating). Bon Appetite!
