We had dear friends visiting this summer, and us ladies decided we wanted to be creative and make ourselves some pincushions. So we found a pattern by Bari J. and got to work. The pattern was a little complicated for us at first, but we got it all sorted out and ended up with a nice cushion.
Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles
Published June 12, 2008 Food , shower 1 CommentTags: chocolate, chocolate truffles, shower food, truffles, wedding shower food
Our church women’s group had a chocolate night this week, so I decided to make some delicious chocolate truffles! I had never made them before, but I was up for the challenge. I found a good recipe from one of my favorite cooking sites, epicurious.com, and I was ready to go. The truffles turned out great once they had a chance to sit in the fridge for a bit. The only problem I ran into was once I had them out of the fridge for a while, they started to get a little too melty and the texture wasn’t as nice. I skipped the step of adding the chocolate coating (I ran out of chocolate!), so I think if it had a separate coating on the outside it would have held up much better. They still tasted great though! These would be an awesome treat for a wedding or baby shower!
If you’d like to try your hand at making this delicious treat, you can find the recipe I used here.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that we’re going to be moving out of state next week, leaving little time for updates to the blog. As soon as everything gets settled with our new home I’ll be back in action with more fun-fiiled projects!
Take care!

William and Jessica’s Wedding Shower

Hi everyone! A few months back we did a wedding shower for our good friends, William and Jessica. It was a lovely, elegant shower with some really great people. The wedding colors were chocolate, gold, and cream, so we decided to stay with that color scheme for the shower. We gave away rosemary bundles tied with mini chocolate ribbons and candles wrapped in chocolate ribbon for favors.
The Menu:
- Chocolate Chai Spice Cupcakes (recipe courtesy Cupcake Bake Shop)
- Honey-Almond Puff Pastry bites
- Fresh Berries
- Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus
- Honey and Poppyseed Salad (from my dear friend Annie)
- Salmon Pastry Bites
I’ll be posting my recipes for the Honey-Almond Puff Pastry bites and Salmon Pastry bites soon. If you just can’t wait, contact me using the form found here and I’d be happy to share!
