The weekend after I got back from Australia I was a co-hostess of a baby shower for my dear friend Erin who is now on bed rest — yikes! Miss Sophia isn’t due until early May so we’re all keeping our fingers crossed that that little bun stays in the oven for a few more weeks! All the photos have a weird pink tinge because I did something weird w/ the white balance on my camera…dang it! The cake pictured above was a from a lovely bakery in Walnut Creek — three layers of chocolate goodness with raspberry filling – just divine!! I forgot to ask Jodi where it was from!!
