I attended a baby shower yesterday and in theme with "baby" all the food was served in miniature proportions. It's comforting to know that you can still get a lot of taste from tinier tidbits.
We were served a fruit shake (for authenticity they were mixed and mashed in a baby food processor) and we drank them out of little bottles:
The shakes were a very refreshing combination of watermelon, apples and a little ice. If we were feeling a little less "wholesome" we probably would have added some vodka. Perhaps after our guest of honor gives birth-we could that to celebrate :-)
Next were very yummy taquitos, bite sized and perfect with their spicy salsa:
Nothing is complete, small or big idea or theme without dessert. One of the hosts made a lovely spread of mini cupcakes and tiny red delicious apples (both unhealthy and healthy options) for the guests. The cupcakes were red velvet and vanilla (from Classic Confections) while the other tiny treats were from Dulcinea such as cream puffs and profiteroles.
A lovely detail was also done by the guest of honor's sister who is a production designer by profession. With the request for all gifts to be reading material, in fact the invitation had a very clever tagline of "bookmark the date" the guests were asked to give something they would like the baby to read or be read to.So, keeping that in mind, she placed little flags on each cupcake representing some childhood classics.
In taste and presentation, I can honestly say that great things come in little packages. May you all have a Sunday full of small surprises :-)
they are all cute.. :)
