Relief Society Party
March 17, 2009
I like it when our church activities – including clean-up — end before 9. Having the ladies decorate their own tables (and even bring a cake) showcased their creativity and made for a very eclectic, but snappy party. Again, home by 9. And I’m on the committee. Some of you know what I’m saying.
I teamed up with my friends Lynette and Angela to put together an Asian-themed table. We were originally going to implement some sort of Paris look. Think black and white. Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face with her glorious balloons. But at 6pm last night, we threw that idea out in favor of an Asian theme (uhhh, two of us are Asian after all…) We gathered inspiration from this Martha Stewart Kids party and literally spent the whole day putting it together.
So I think I got off easy by making just the cake. Angela procured candies, paper, and made the beautiful origami flowers while Lynette spent the entire day going from store, to store, to store, shopping for all the little details. By the time I came with the cake, the two were nearly finished with the table. Again, this was all pulled off today. And both ladies have two little children. My friends are amazing.
One last thing. I was very happy at how this frosting turned out. And also this whipped cream frosting. Both from Cafe Johnsonia.

Nice and simple looking cake, bet it was delicious. I’d like the receipe. Did you know that I made my 1st or make that 2nd cake since being in Carolina … it was Strawberry/coconut … it was a hit @ Chuck’s job!
Wow, sounds like a lot of time and work involved. However, it payed off because it looks great! My ward has done similar thing and it always so fun to see how each table turns out. Everyone has such unique styles, it’s great!
Mom, you’re making cake now??! Bet it was so good.
Your table looked great last night. So many details. Your cake was elegant looking. Beautiful flowers. I thought the evening was very fun. And I checked my watch as drove down the driveway and was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks Dana. I just wish I had taken pics of all the tables. The evening went by so fast.

being an enrichment committee member i know how truly impressive that is! the table (and cake) are very impressive. looks like it was a great evening.
Your table was lovely. It was beautiful and unique. I completely agree with you about how wonderful it is to be home from these activities before 9. I thought it was a great evening and there was just the right amount of chicken.
