Two Of My Favorite Things... Coffee Cake and Party Pretties

Today I am sharing two of my favorite things with you. The first is this cute "Cross + Plus" garland I was sent from The Flair Exchange.  I can't wait to put it in my new office space once we move (the packing process has started). Second is this sour cream & chocolate chip coffee cake, I have been eating this ever since I can remember and have been feeding it to my kids since they were little. Give it a try and while you are enjoying a piece hop on over to The Flair Exchange and do some shopping. 

Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Cream together

1/4 C butter (room temp)

3/4 C sugar

Add:

2 eggs

1 C Sour Cream

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 C all purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix until combined, then add 1 bag of mini semi sweet chocolate chips. (Mini chips work best, because they won't sink to the bottom of the cake)

Pour into greased 9" square pan

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

1/2 C sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Mix together then pour on top of cake batter to cover. 

Place cake in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. Cake should be golden brown and when toothpick is inserted in center of cake, should come out clean.

Serve warm or at room temp.

DFTBA,

I had the privileged of being selected as one of The Flair Exchange's Ambassadors. Each month they send me a variety of products to play with and review. For those of you who have been following me, you know that I am already a fan of The Flair Exchange and their tassel garlands. I have been using their festive garlands for nearly two years for various occasions and can't wait to try out more of there fun products in the coming months. 

For the month of April I was sent this fun box which contains:

• Orchid Tassel Garland
• Confetti 17" Balloon (coordinates with the Orchid Tassel Garland)
• Tissue Confetti (coordinates with the Orchid Tassel Garland)

I have a little party planned in my head using these products, but I thought it would be fun to put together a PSD "Party By Color" inspiration board for you all to see. 

1. The Flair Exchange Orchid Tassel Garland  2. The Flair Exchange Gold Confetti Filled Balloon  3. Purple Place Setting  4. Light Blue & Gold Place Setting  5. Pamela Smerker Designs Mini Gable Boxes in Apple Green. 

What occasion do you see yourself using this pretty color scheme for? I will be prepping for my party and am excited to share all the details soon! 

DFTBA,
