Buzz is Having a Baby Bee!
With a nickname like "Buzz," the theme for this shower was pretty easy. (Plus, she registered for tons of cute Pooh stuff, and there are lots of bees in the prints.) I looove throwing parties, and this one was extra special because Buzz is such a dear friend.
The cupcakes with edible frosting bees were my favorite touch. Just buy ready-to-use fondant from a bakery supply store and work with it like play-doh. I used toothpicks dipped in decorator gel for the eyes; a straw (tilted at an angle) for the smiles, and added stripes. The wings are almond slices. Here are my bees in progress.
And a few more photos of the party decorations. (That's a baby picture of Buzz.) I stuck with the colors green, pale yellow, brown and lots of white. I stumbled on the adorable 3D bee stickers and searched out the tiny wired bees in the floral section of a craft store.
I also found an old yellow ceramic jar at an antique store and spelled "HUNNY" on it, Pooh-style. A small bunch of balloons, the cute cupcakes, and an enticing spread of munchies was all it took to round out this special party. Well, that and a houseful of wonderful guests!
