These pies are for created for those who crave true comfort food but want something more elegant and imaginative. Hand baked by avid home baker turned professional Tonya Dooley, they are most importantly – mind-blowingly delicious!

Another great option that's available are "Lollipies", which are cut-outs of flaky, all-butter crust filled with a selection of the season’s best flavors, brushed with egg wash, sprinkled with sugar, and then treated with a bit of edible glitter. They are wrapped in a compostable cellophane bag, and tied with a festive ribbon. Wouldn't they make the PERFECT centerpiece for your next Baby Shower or Welcome Baby Event?

"Cute as a Button" Baby Favors & Decorations

Are you planning a baby shower or welcome baby event and looking for decorations and favors that are Cute as a Button? Your party guests would love the opportunity to take home one of these precious momentos from our friends at Beau-Coup.

These button-shaped soaps make the perfect favor for any baby event! Each smooth white soap favor is lightly scented and designed to look just like a round button. They arrive nestled in raffia within a pastel polka dot box tied with satin ribbon and real button embellishment.

Sweet simplicity makes these cute as a button glass tea light holders one of my favorite items. They can be lit at your event and used as part of your decor or given to your guests as a party favor. Each frosted glass candleholder is accented with a pale green button and a white ribbon decorated with polka dots in a rainbow of colors - and the tea light candle is included! This adorable favor arrives in a clear gift box with a white satin bow and button-shaped "Cute as a Button" tag.

Another great idea that matches this button theme are these colorful frames that can be used as place card holders or given as favors with a special message or your favorite photo attached. Each frame features resin buttons in a variety of sizes and pastel colors. When your baby arrives, send your guests a photo that they can put into their frame as a keepsake!
