Baby Shower Cupcakes

My friend Ashley asked me to make cupcakes for a baby shower she was hosting for her sister. Her sister loves giraffes, so we decided the cupcakes would be decorated with baby giraffes and some cute pink bows in honor of her new baby girl.

Chocolate Cupcakes filled with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Filling. Topped with Ganache and a Fondant Bow.

I can't take credit for the beautiful photography. Natalie Eisen (the talented photographer and owner of Memories by Natalie) took the photos. You can see more of her work here:

The beautiful table display.

I love the little frames and cards they used to write the names of the desserts!

Don't you just love the slices of lemons and limes in the flower jar? What a great center piece!

 The beautiful pink table...

 Homemade fans - perfect for an outdoor tea party/baby shower!

You are going to die from the amount of cuteness in this last photo.

I told you! Cuteness overload, right? I can't think of a better way to display tiny baby clothes than on a clothesline with wooden clothes pins. Genius!

Ashley and her mother Penny did an amazing job creating a beautiful baby shower.

Happy caking, everyone!
