Baby Steps

Another friend of mine is getting ready to add a new addition to their family - a baby girl.  I was honored to be asked to make cookies and a cake for the shower.  I'll be honest, the cookies were no big deal - but the cake scared me to death --- I've never tampered with the world of cakes before.  Below you'll find the 40 cookies I made (37 of them made it to the shower after the boyfriend got a hold of them)  and my first attempt at cake decorating - I've a lot to learn : )
