Baby Shower Invite

i'm so excited to throw a baby shower at my home for my friend jillian! we all know i love babies and parties so this is right up my alley! she isn't going to find out whether or not it's a boy or girl so we are doing a gender neutral, yellow and gray shower. i created the bunting in a microsoft word document using autoshapes and then used the new arrivals cricut cartridge to cut out the little onesies.

i also wanted to share my favorite fall dessert with you: Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

i like to make homemade whipped cream to accompany it, although it is fine on it's own! i whip heavy whipping cream in my mixer until it becomes creamy and add powdered sugar until it tastes sweet enough and peaks when i lift the mixer attachment...soooooo yummy....you'll never buy whipped cream from the store again once you taste this.

That is my favorite dessert! I make it at least twice this time of year. Just love all the variations you can make with it!
