BABY SHOWER DECEMBER HOLIDAY THEMES

A great decoration idea in December will depend on what religion you are celebrating:

Christmas: If you want to tie the theme of Christmas into your baby shower, paint bells, mini trees, stars with blue or pink (if you know the gender of the baby). The room can look like a winter wonderland (use cotton with glitter) and the food can be festive for the season. Gingerbread and candy canes can say "It's a boy" or "It's a girl".

Hanukah: If you want to tie Hanukah into the shower, use the blue and white colors as well as make festive foods like latkes and brisket. Decorate the room with blue or pink dreidels (if you know the gender of the baby). The room can be festive with lights since it is the festival of lights.

Kwanzaa: If you want to tie Kwanzaa into the theme, use the colors black, red and green for the room. Tie the seven principals into the theme in how it relates to the baby. People can dress in festive clothing as well as the seven light Kinara placed at the party. Kwanzaa is a family holiday and focus can be given to family values. Vegetables can be served at the party since it coincides with what is symbolic of Kwanzaa. I hope these ideas help you in planning your December party.

HOLIDAY RECIPE
A great Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukah baby shower dessert recipe is our highly addictive baby shower butter cake:

1 pkg yellow cake mix
2 sticks of butter (separately melted)
4 eggs
1 16oz box of confectioner's sugar
1 8oz pkg. cream cheese (softened)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat Oven to 350. You will need to mixing bowls to mix two different things (the cake and the topping):

In one mixing bowl, beat the baby shower cake mix, 1 stick of melted butter and 2 eggs until well blended. This will be fairly stiff. Press into a 9x13 cake pan.

In another mixing bowl, beat the other stick of melted butter, 2 eggs, sugar, softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until well blended. Pour this baby shower butter topping mixture over the bottom layer and bake for 40 minutes (or until golden brown top and a little jiggly in the center). Let it cool and place the baby shower butter cake in a container or in saran-wrap. You can decorate the top of the cake with frosting and make your favorite holiday picture with the baby shower theme! You will have your baby shower guests talking on how good it is!
