A little slice of baby shower heaven
Let's face it: no one's ever going to say, "Whoopee, a cello bag of Jordan almonds!" It's just not in our DNA. And yet we feel the primal call to give cutesy favors out at at baby showers.

( I once painted twelve identical paintings in one night because I wanted my dear friend to feel super-showered, and I couldn't think of anything fabulous enough.)

The good news is that when you disguise your favors as delicious slices of chocolate cake or wedges of cheese, no one's going to care what's inside of them. These paper pastries by imeondesign on Etsy are proof that it's all in the packaging--and that showers are all about the cake. (Sorry showerees). Everyone takes a slice, no cutting or calories required. And if you get the strawberry cheesecake slices, you can even slip some strategically colored jelly beans or M&Ms in the strawberry.

What to put inside? Hershey's Kisses, iced sugar cookies, tiny handmade soaps, perfume vials, votive candles. Even Jordan almonds. Trust me-- it's the cake they'll remember. It always is.~Delilah
