Surprise Baby Shower...Choco Flan, Owl Cakes, Chicken Pinwheels and Etc...

Our surprise baby shower for my best friend Monica turned out successful. You should've seen the look on face when she entered the room lol. She said she had no idea. 

Planning was easy since I had help from our other good friends and her boyfriend. We had food, silly baby shower games and booze for the men. Yes, our baby showe had men, and the booze helped loosen them up to play games ^_^.

The food were all Monica friendly. No greasy and fattening food because she pukes it out, so crane asada, tacos and burgers were scratched off the list. 

Here's what we had instead...

My good friend Lupe to make her famous Chocoflan. Did I tell you she made 8 Chocoflan for my wedding? She's so awesome! She also made mini chocolate mint owl cakes because Mon loves owls. So cute, right?

I made these super cute and yummy Mexican Chicken Pinwheels using DivasCanCook recipe. So tiny and cute. They were the perfect appetizer. It has cream cheese, shredded chicken, tomatoes and spices. They were all gone in no time.

I also made Mini Turkey Cranberry Sandwiches with Pan Dulce bread. They were like mini Thanksgiving on a sandwich! Very light and tasty. I was telling everyone how Mon and I used to eat the cheapest turkey meat sandwich with cream cheese and ketchup back in college because we were always broke. Good times!

Lupe also made Jaiba Salad or crab ceviche salad with imitation crab meat, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, and lemon juice. So simple, light and refreshing. Best eaten with tostadas.
