Two friends, miles apart, who love to bake!

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I am baking a wedding cake for my friend’s wedding this Saturday. You will have also noticed that I hosted my cousin’s bridal shower this past weekend! It was so much fun planning and preparing with my mom and aunts that I thought I would share some pics on the blog!
The theme was “Stock the Kitchen” and one of the things I asked guests to do was submit a recipe so I could make a cookbook for Lis and her fiancé- their first family cookbook! My aunt brought some beautiful linens to use and different glass jars that we filled with fresh flowers. Another aunt make these centerpieces out of mini colanders.

We had a mimosa bar and for those who opted out of alcohol, we had lemonade or water. Lunch was catered but two of my aunts each made delicious salads. It was truly a family affair and now we’re so excited for the big day!!
Next event before the big day: Bachelorette part in Vegas!!
