Finally The Bridal Tea Shower, and Goodies Too Numerous to Mention!

The shower was a huge a success, a lot of work, but so worth it. My friend Barb, the groom's Godmother and I,  were able to coordinate the Bride's colors, mango and metallic, into all phases of the shower,  favors,  table settings, and even the cupcakes.  We wanted to make everything very special. Here is our bride-to be, Cherise with her "bouquet". My grandaughter is in the backround.

 We had a sweet table instead of a cake and the bride chose the cupcakes.

Cherise's favorite cupcakes are the  Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Filling and Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting, so they were the signature cupcake.  Then she chose the Champagne Cupcakes, which I had made for their engagement.

The last cupcake that Cherise chose was the Key Lime Cupcake with Lime Cream Cheese Frosting on the top plate.  Recipe to be posted soon.

I rounded out the dessert table with Raspberry Bars on the second plate, and Nutella Fudge Brownie Bites on the bottom plate. The last dessert item was Lizzy@That Skinny Chick Can Bake Mini White Chocolate Cheesecakes, which were wonderful, putzy, but wonderful.

Yes, we did have other food, however I didn't get good pictures of the food.  I didn't designate a photographer, because it wan't on my list. I took pictures of the sweet table, before the guests arrived, so that's why I have them.  Here is the rest of the menu.  I will post recipes for some of the food soon.
