Baby Shower

This weekend, the girls and I drove down to Corvallis to visit Grandpa and Grandma Hammar and play hostesses to my sister-in-law for her baby shower. We had a really fun time.....especially since the girls' cousins just got a brand new, adorable Jack Russell terrier puppy named PJ. Laurel spent most of her time looking out the window at the puppy, or telling everyone she saw, "Puppy! Puppy!"
The shower was very fun and Elisabeth and her soon-to-be son received a ton of very nice gifts. That kid is going to be very well dressed! I asked her if I could make her cake for the party as I really enjoy that lately. Her nursery theme is a hippo/leafy theme so I designed my cake around that. This was actually the second design concept, as my first try didn't work out quite as well as it did in my mind. But, the results were a hit in both taste and looks!

My sister-in-law and future nephew!

The cake, with fondant leaves and chocolate molded hippos.

How sweet! The cake turned out cute (and I'm wishing I could reach through my screen and snag one of those hippos to nibble!)
