Recently I was able to plan a baby shower for my friend who is expecting a little baby boy in a few weeks! The family is from Canada, so I wanted to focus on red + white as the color scheme and incorporate maple leafs.

Trader Joe’s has these sweet little maple leaf cookies that I got to go with the theme. They are delicious and you should run to your nearest TJ’s to pick some up. It is like eating a pancake, but in cookie form.

I also made some maple bacon cupcakes. I had my mom make leaf toppers for the cupcakes, and create the main cake with the little baby. The baby even had a maple leaf on its diaper! So precious.

As for the other foods, I kept the red theme going with roasted red pepper hummus, red pepper veggie sticks, and tomato mozzarella bites. We kept it simple on games, but had a seat of honor for the momma. I am so excited for this sweet little family to expand by one little boy. Can’t wait to meet the bab(eh).
