Maria's Summer Shower

So, one of my best friends is getting married in December. It's crazy because I've known her since elementary school and it's unbelievable that we are at the age where people start getting married. It's honestly surreal, but I'm so happy for her and I'm glad she has found someone that makes her so happy. I was obviously thrilled when she asked me to be one of her bridesmaids when the two of us went to dinner at a cheap Chinese restaurant in January. She has already had one shower in Jackson, Mississippi, where she went to school and where her fiance is from, and this past Saturday, we had a shower for her here in our lovely little hometown. Her sister, who is the maid of honor, coordinated the whole thing and it was a really fun shower! All the hometown and family bridesmaids helped host it, and I did some baking! So in addition to having "Baby Bites" (little cake bites) from a local bakery, I made some cheesecake cupcakes. They aren't really cupcakes, you just bake them in cupcake liners. I made Oreo cheesecake (with a whole Oreo on the bottom to serve as the crust) and strawberry cheesecake (with a Nilla wafer at the bottom). I also said I would practice my photography skills. So, without further ado, here they are!
