Julia in Wonderland

In a little over a week my cousin, Julia, will be walking down the aisle to be married.  I can't wait to share this special day with her and her future hubby, and am honored to be one of her bridesmaids.  

A few weeks ago, I helped fulfill the important bridesmaids duty of hosting a bridal shower in her honor.  Both Julia and her fiance are big tea-drinkers, so we decided on an Alice in Wonderland theme, a bridal shower tea, hats and all.  

As the family baker, I volunteered to make the desserts: sugar cookies and cupcakes.  

The sweet treats decorated in line with the theme. 

The chocolate cupcakes were topped with a light purple-vanilla butter cream frosting, the white cupcakes with a light pink-vanilla butter cream frosting, and the cookies with a light blue royal icing. 

We also served a variety of teas and an assortment of finger food. 

To complete the experience, we decorated the house with themed signs, 
made by the Matron of Honor. 

The bridal shower tea party was a success! My favorite part was the collection of pantry items and recipe cards brought by each guest. (She even got the recipe to one of my cupcakes).
