Over this past weekend I helped throw a baby shower for my friend Joanna who is having a baby girl in 3 weeks.  When I first was asked to help with the shower I was thinking I could make some cute cookies or cupcakes but then I wanted to challenge myself.  At first I was going to tackle the cake making myself but then I decided to look into taking some fondant cake classes.  The classes didn't work with my schedule so I actually ended up paying the teacher who teaches the classes at Michael's craft stores to come to my house for a private lesson.  I had the lady come on Friday night at 8pm.  The cake was cooked and and the frosting for the middle was made before she came.  I had never done a fondant cake before so it was so nice having professional help.  Below are some pictures of the shower and cake and cupcakes I made.
