Sprinkle Sprinkle

I recently learned that some find it gauche to have a full blown baby shower for anything but the first child.  So, instead of a shower, the Couture Confectioner and I threw a fall/nature-themed Sprinkle (i.e., lower key, request no gifts, classy affair) for our best 'soon-to-be-mom-to-another-baby' friend.

There were of course still:

French Macaroons (from the now confirmed LA favorite, La Provence).

Gourmet cupcakes (from Georgetown cupcakes, possibly the best).

Customized party favors (consisting of bird-nests made of chocolate dipped dried noodles filled with jelly beans and mama and baby bird cookie cutters.)

A themed diaper tower.  (Apparently, mothers need diapers. Who knew.)

And tons of hanging paper flower balls (official term lacking as I only know how to buy desserts, not decorate).
