My Sister's Baby Shower

here are some pictures of things I made for my sister's woodland themed baby shower!

 


I designed and drew the signage, made the punch, and the hedgehog cheeseball.

The punch ended up being a big hit, and it was very easy to make but takes some preparation. The recipe is as follows:
ingredients:

1 gallon of unfiltered apple juice
1-2 tablespoons of whole mulling spices
2 liter of ginger ale

A day ahead, pour the unfiltered apple juice into a large pot, cover, and let it come to a light simmer (doesn't need to boil). You can make a small pouch with some cheese cloth to keep the spices contained, or use a large tea bag, tea ball, other similar contraption.  When the apple juice is nice and hot you can add the spices, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and let the spices steep for an hour or two (longer is better).  Remove the spices, remove the pan from the heat source.  Let the liquid cool down, transfer to a plastic container, and let it chill in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.  Shortly before serving, transfer the juice to a punch bowl, and top off the bowl with the ginger ale, however much it takes to fill your punch bowl.  If you have extra gingerale leftover from the first pour, you can add more whenever the bowl starts to look low.
