baby shower menu...and SENTIMENT CAKES

"A sentiment cake is a cake I make for sentimental purposes. It is where
I make cupcakes to be enjoyed by the friends who come to the party and
the sentiment cake is boxed up to be enjoyed by the family members not
invited to the party… Maybe a hubby or younger siblings. They LOVE
it! That way not too much cake is consumed or wasted! But it helps to
carry the theme. What is a party without the cake.”
