We had a great baby shower this weekend to celebrate the upcoming
arrival of our first child, our baby dragon Lily! One of my favorite
parts of the shower was the dessert station!
The color theme was pink, light green and white, and so we made the
desserts to match!
Our beautiful dessert tower set up by Chi Tu and Alvina!
I made green tea and rose macarons, and my cousin
(also the host of the shower) made vanilla mini cupcakes with green tea
buttercream. I made the little fondant flower decorations to go on top
of the cupcakes, and Chi Hai's cutie patootie daughter, my niece, helped
place the flowers on the cupcakes, she's a natural! Chi Hai also baked
vanilla cake pops with the remaining batter from the cupcakes, and then
my friend Alvina and I dipping them in pink chocolate candy melts.
Then we all added the white chocolate stripes to them.
Our dragon lily's cake! We ordered a
mixed berry cake from Givral Bakery in Westminster, CA. I love that
bakery, it's my favorite also because we used them for our wedding, and
any other special occasion! They did the light green piping along the
side of the cake and added the green ribbon and bow for the border. I
made the little baby dragon and the broken green egg shell to place on
top of the cake. Khoa bought spray light pink roses that I cut up to
place on the cake as well. I am 3 weeks away from my due date, so this
was one last baking and decorating gig for a very long time! I would
have made sugar flowers, but why do more work than I have to, plus,
nothing looks better than the real thing!
