This morning on Breakfast Television I had the pleasure of sharing some ideas for planning a Baby Shower with soon-to-be-Mom AGAIN Joanne Vrakas 
You can watch the segment by clicking here or on the image below.
For this particular segment, I featured a variety of ready-made foods that can make life easier for the person hosting. That said, some of my treats were home-made:
The mini-trifles are easy to assemble:
- Choose a cookie cutter with the same diameter as the cup/jar within which you will assemble the trifle
- Cut out circles of cake.
- Set the cake round on edge and slice into rounds (approximately 1/2″ thick)
- Place 1 round in the bttom of serving cup/jar
- Top with approx 1 – 1.5 tsp. pudding
- Sprinkle with Topping
- Top with another layer of cake
- Top with whipped cream
- Place or sprinkle topping for an attractive finish
- Note: The flavours featured in this segment were:
Lemon-Blueberry ( white cake, lemon instant pudding, frozen blueberries inside and one fresh blueberry over top)
Chocolate-SKOR ( chocolate cake, chocolate instant pudding & SKOR bits)
The cupcakes were made with my favourite mixes, topped with icing and cute decorations we picked up at the party store.

Before I leave you…I HAVE to share that while I rarely get star-struck, I was THRILLED to see Chef Ricardo while in Studio today- it absolutely made my day ( as well as my daughter’s who was along with me for the morning!) . I absolutely love the way he cooks as well as his genuinely kind personality and amazing energy – it was an absolute pleasure to meet him!!! Apparently he has a new line of cast iron cookware…I may just have to check it out 😉
Wishing everyone a phenomenal day – Be sure to keep cool and stay hydrated!
