Bridal Shower Recap
Hey guys! As promised here are some pictures to recap the bridal shower this past weekend. To start with I am sorry for the sub-par photos…the table was in the darkest part of the room.
It all started a few months ago when my friend (&MOH) asked me to make 60 cupcakes for her sister’s bridal shower. It was nerve racking and humbling at the same time because I have never done anything more than 24 cupcakes. Of course I said yes because the bride is like a sister to me and now I am a bridesmaid in the wedding!! As you can see I went beyond just cupcakes. I had a vision of setting up a dessert table and that’s exactly what I did. I loved how it turned out!! What do you think?
The MOH decided on a wine-themed shower and since the bride’s favorite color is purple, we went with it. I made chocolate red wine cupcakes (coming soon) to go with the theme. In addition, I made a batch of fluffy vanilla cupcakes with whipped vanilla frosting (recipe here).
I made a batch of vanilla almond sugar cookies from Bake at 350 which I attempted to decorate. Clearly, cookie decorating is not one of my strong fortes but I loved how they turned out. It was also a fun activity to do with the MOH (who decorated the two cookies with “Tia” and was very proud of her creations).

This entire setup is beautiful, Zainab! I bet this was a great bridal shower. You have talent, my friend! 🙂 Pinned.
