Gifts for Baby Audrey: Baby Blanket, Fondant Cake and Cupcakes

Today, Liz went to a baby shower for her new niece Audrey. The past few weeks, Liz has been hard at work planning both her gift as well as the cake/treats she was going to make for the event.

The gift: a baby blanket. And all hand-made, start to finish.

Another closeup of the "flowers" that connect each circle/patch.

In addition to the blanket, Liz also made up a batch of cupcakes (and a cake).

A closer look at one dozen.

Zoom of on of the cupcakes (sorta makes me want to lick the screen).

Fully assembled, Liz also created a display area for the cake/cupcakes. This pic (and the ones below) were snapped by Liz at the event.

Top view. All those flowers? You guessed it: fondant.

I see fondant! :)

I can't believe she made that blanket! I thought it was an heirloom piece. She is amazing!

Thanks for the kind words. :)

I do have to say, the cupcakes were SOOO good. They were very chocolaty tasting, and honestly the best I've ever had. Props to America's Test Kitchen.

Here is the recipe if anyone was interrested: http://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipe.asp?recipeids=2223&iSeason=7
