Recently some friends (thank you Christi, Taryn, & Tessa) threw a fabulous baby shower for me with dessert on the menu: fresh fruit, a chocolate fountain, and plenty of treats. It was so fun and the food was amazing so I had to post some of the recipes here. These darling cupcakes had the most delicious frosting. Here is the recipe they used for the cupcakes and frosting. This will be your new favorite buttercream!
Taryn used a Giada recipe to make these light and airy meringues. She left out the espresso powder--they were perfect with the mini chocolate chips! For another great meringue dessert, click here.
I love raspberry and chocolate together so these Chocolate Raspberry Bars were the perfect treat! It's another recipe from Giada.
These darling onesie-shaped sugar cookies frosted with royal icing were the shower favors. Too cute! Here are instructions from Martha Stewart. Taryn's trick for icing the cookies is to put the royal icing in squeeze bottles. Make your edge, then fill and spread. It works so well!
While I'm drooling over desserts, here's a recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Cookies my friend Erin sent to me. Thank you Erin! These are delicious and different. They taste like mini strawberry scones. For added sweetness I topped them with a powdered sugar glaze. Erin also had the great idea of topping them with whipped cream. Yum! A fun summer dessert.
