We are blessing Clara soon and let me tell you... I am really appreciative when people ask if they can bring something. It is a lot of work and I'm trying to not make this event stressful!!
On the menu:
Cafe Rio food. I really like to have a theme because it groups everything together. Mexican, greek, American, Indian, etc.
Homemade tortillas. I will be trying out Annies Eats recipe and cooking them beforehand, then refrigerate or freeze until day of. Then I'm thinking to just heat them up in the oven. I bought a tortilla press to have it be quicker and I hope to always have homemade tortillas in my freezer from then on!!

A cake to celebrate Clara. My sister had a banner/cake topper for a shower and I will use that. I want to keep it simple (and of course yummy) but doing a cake Roger loves (even with healthy alterations) but do it in a cake pan. Hoping to make a drip effect, use the banner and possibly fresh flowers on top. Wish me luck!! And stay tuned for the Triple Fudge Cake that I'll be making for her blessing day.
Drip effect that I hope will work?
