This past weekend, Kristen of Rock My Palate and my middle sister, Regina, hosted a baby shower for me. Husband and I are huge The Nightmare Before Christmas fans so Kristen and Regina themed the shower and cake around that – The Nightmare Before Baby. They ordered a delicious cake from Jenny Wenny Cakes in San Diego. I thought it was adorable, especially with the Zero in the crib. The top layer had a guava filling while the bottom layer had a passion fruit filling. I do love me my tropical fruits!
In all the fun, I totally didn’t take pictures of the food! We had some delish sandwiches – tuna salad (with peas!), bbq chicken with slaw and nutella with fruit – thanks t0 “Umma” Christine. There was also Korean fried chicken with a honey dijon and a chili soy glaze thanks to Angela of I Flip for Food. Salad, fruit, cookies, little lemon cakes and more! It was a feast and I have a ton of leftovers in my fridge now.
I loved getting to see my friends, some of whom I haven’t visited with in a while, and it was awesome getting to celebrate the impending arrival of Baby with them.




Cool! So glad you liked it! It was a really fun theme too! If you could send me a picture of the crib that would be awesome, I didnt capture that!
