(I am embarrassed to say I got food pictures at the shower but nothing else- I'll be sure to snap some photos of the bride at the wedding!)
My friend Julie makes the best cupcakes. Just the best. Lily requested caramel toffee latte cupcakes. Delish.
Julie also brought her signature chocolate cupcake.
Also delish.
The girls and I were particularly excited to make this recipe. I was looking for something besides punch and found this in the Kroger coupon magazine, of all places.
Kayla made it herself. The rest of us taste-tested often before the shower. It was really good!
Strawberry Agua Fresca
4 cups water
1/3 cup sugar
6 cups hulled strawberries
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
mint sprigs, optional
Combine all ingredients except mint in a blender and puree until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Pour into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
*It took about one and a half boxes of berries to get 6 cups.
*We made it ahead of time and it chilled well.
*We are definitely using this recipe for fruit popsicles this summer!

The cupcakes where AWESOME! You still got some good pics of the food!
Funny how we take these food shots! Do your kids know how to remove the center with a straw? This process I learned from my son on mother's day. Always good to learn something new!
Sounds delicious!
Lots of people think they don't like punch because people slop sherbet on top and it makes a nasty froth. I call that scum-punch, and I never serve it. This sounds like such a refreshing substitute!
Great party!
