“Happy Trails” Spring Baby Shower Soirée

Happy Trails Spring Baby Shower Soirée

I seriously think ruffle cakes might be my new favorite thing! There’s something so lovely and feminine about them… making them a perfect addition to sweet occasions like bridal & baby showers.

And speaking of ruffle cakes, check out the beauties starring in this fun & whimsical HAPPY TRAILS Baby Shower created by Katie of Saving Dates. She did such a great job arranging tons of different treats (including cupcake push pops and adorable candy-filled mason jars!) and mixing in decorative elements like hanging pomanders and flowers for a decidedly “springtime” feel. This theme & color palette would work well for summer showers too!

PARTY DETAILS, as told by Katie,

Decor:
“I used my own custom printables for cupcake toppers, bunting banners, food labels, water bottles and more. I made paper pomander balls that hang from the ceiling with inspiration from Frog Prince Paperie.

Favors:
I made the favors using small mason jars filled with candy then covered in fabric piece with pinking shears then wrapped and tied with raffia.

Desserts:
We had several cakes and cookies made by Julie Mullen at Sugar Custom Cakes along with these adorable cupcake pushpops that were made by me.”

Deanna SAYS:

How do you hang those pom poms? Are they on strings and then you just pretty much tie them somehow on the ceiling?
