The decorations were all vintage.

The vintage stuff was massed on tables. Great technique!

Isn’t this duck the cutest thing?

The table with the food. Yum!

Balsamic Strawberries

The cake. It wasn't so difficult.

Well, picnik decided I can’t do any more photos tonight.

Suffice it to say that the shower was wonderful and could not be more pleased with the menu!

Making the food for the shower was a family thing, for the most part. Matt, Ethan, and Shiloh were my assistant chefs, and the littler kids helped with the go-fer-ing. I had to smile listening to SHiloh and Matt talk as SHiloh was making truffles and Matt was doing dishes.  Matt said that the cool thing about being in our family is everything was catered…He looked around and said, “This is like a 1500.00 catering job mom!”

He is right. Matt and Shi will be serving at the shower. They will make sure that the tea is full, the coffee is hot, and the trays are filled. They will be answering questions intelligently and respectfully. Some day, if they ever apply for a job in a kitchen, or with a caterer that person would be wise to hire them.

Anyway, I have about a million posts to post, both here and Kettle and Cup..but it will have to wait until tonight. After the shower I am headed to Evil Shenanigan’s house to partake in a locavore feast. Have an awesome afternoon…You know I will. Oh and here is a preview pick of the cake….shhhhhh..Dont tell Erin.

I am pretty happy with how it came out.  The top tier is a streusal butter cake and the bottom tier is 4 layers of almond white cake, with alternating cherry buttercream and Mate green tea buttercream. I will get more pictures at the shower.
