Last Sunday, sweet baby Peyton was baptized. Afterwards, we had about 20 of our closest family and friends over for lunch. I had seen so many beautiful pink & gold parties on Pinterest & really wanted to decorate using those colors.
For food, we had two pasta salads, a veggie tray, a fruit tray, rolls for chicken salad and pimento cheese, southern ham delights, strawberry cupcakes and strawberry cake. Because I knew I would be short on time coming straight from church, everything was pretty much store brought & put onto platters before we left that morning. I did put in the extreme effort of making the strawberry cupcakes...from a boxed mix of course. : ) I did make the ham delights & if you click here, this is how I made them. They are SO GOOD. My friend Liz makes them all the time & I bugged her for the recipe. I could have probably made 5 trays of those things & every single one would have been eaten. SO GOOD.
For decorations, the branches are from my parent's peach tree. Yep, I just snipped some branches off when we were visiting & you couldn't even tell. So much so that my mom said she really liked them & asked where I got them. Whoopsie. ; ) In the center was a banner saying "God Bless Peyton". With the lighting, you can't really read it, but it looked really cute in person. I talk more about the banner in a post found here.
Hello pretty Publix cake. Their cake is the best. It's why I don't usually even try to bake cake myself. Okay, who am I kidding? It could be only kinda good & I probably still wouldn't try to bake cake myself. : )
