Gifts for Baby Audrey: Baby Blanket, Fondant Cake and Cupcakes
Today, Liz went to a baby shower for her new niece Audrey. The past few weeks, Liz has been hard at work planning both her gift as well as the cake/treats she was going to make for the event.
The gift: a baby blanket. And all hand-made, start to finish.

Another closeup of the “flowers” that connect each circle/patch.
In addition to the blanket, Liz also made up a batch of cupcakes (and a cake).
A closer look at one dozen.
Zoom of on of the cupcakes (sorta makes me want to lick the screen).
Fully assembled, Liz also created a display area for the cake/cupcakes. This pic (and the ones below) were snapped by Liz at the event.
