Lately I have been extremely busy with school, moving and out of town trips! It is insane! Not to mention that it feels as though everyone I know is getting married. Today Naomi and I threw a shower for our friend Desiree who is getting married in two weeks. Mom always makes the cutest towel cakes for showers, and this time I tried my hand at doing it myself. Usually she makes them from dish towels and kitchen stuff, but I made one from bath towels. I have to say I like the kitchen ones best because you have a lot more options for decorating the cake. By now I am becoming a bit of an expert at throwing bridal showers so if you need any tips, just ask! :) A cute idea my friend Sherry's ward in Maryland did for her was a brown paper bag book they called "Making a Marriage from Scratch." All the women at the shower wrote advice for her and decorated a page of the book. They also each took a picture at the shower with Sherry and then whoever put the book together pasted them in the book. I thought that was such a cute idea and a nice keepsake also! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures!
A flower I made using a
lufa (
sp?) as the center and rubber bands to make the petals.
The finished product! The only thing I think of to add to it was massage oil!
The back of the cake Mom made Naomi.
The front of Naomi's cake! It is made from dish towels wrapped around a grater, but you can really use anything.
