Never Enough Cupcakes

On Saturday May 7 we had a Bridal Shower for our niece Ashely who is getting married June 4.  I made 175 mini cupcakes most with little chocolate boots on them.  I made strawberry cupcakes with strawberry cream cheese frosting, lemon cupcakes some with regular cream cheese frosting and some with the strawberry cream cheese frosting and rainbow party chip-our standard cupcake favorite.  The strawberry cream cheese frosting was AMAZING!!!! The lemon cupcake with the strawberry cream cheese frosting was the tastiest in my opinion.  The shower was a western theme and we had pulled pork sliders on these super cute mini burger buns, frog eye salad, potato salad, chips and beans.  We made a 'Newly Wed Game" video with Dena interviewing DJ about their (Ashley and DJ's) relationship, an advice game and a "what's in your purse" game.  Ashley also opened her numerous pantry presents.  We know where to go when the end comes because she is stocked up.  I made her 24 quart jars filled with an assortment of things-pastas and sauce, rice and sauce, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and 4 jars just of large candy bars.  Darbie made her an awesome recipe book filled with recipes that the guests sent it.  We held the party and Grandma Dottie's in her backyard.  It was a lovely afternoon!
