Favors
Since it is Fall and I am known for my caramel I decided to give each guest a fresh apple and a jar of my homemade caramel. My helper, Linda, and I wrapped them up in a cellophane bag, tied it up with raffia, and included a "Thank you" sticker. We had 36 of them to put together, but it wasn't too bad. The jars I used were the 4oz ball jelly jars, I bought the apples at Costco (used a mix of Gala and Granny Smith), and it was great that I could make them in steps ahead of time.

| This is after it had been carried home :) I didn't take a pic after I made them :( |
The other take home favor was a "Baked Goods Bar", a twist on the usual "Candy Bars". I would love to take credit for all of these amazing treats, but I have some fantastic friends who pitched in and helped a Kate out! Thanks to them this was a wonderful addition to the baby shower and a nice surprise for our guests. I will have the recipes for these treats on another post!
 |
| We had pumpkin muffins, pumpkin spiced snickerdoodles, truffled brownies, brown butter chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, and Magic Bars. |
 |
| Magically Delicious! |
 |
| Burlap as the table clothe, pumpkins as decor, and some garland from Michael's. I had paper bags and goodie bags for people to take the treats home in. |
You are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteSuperb ideas! Treats and table decors are fascinating. Hope all your guests praised the efforts done. Best place to have parties are the event halls for rent in our city. Their prices are genuine and color schemes are matching the interior and exterior portions. Staff is quite attentive and also the garden areas are spacious too.
