My youngest sister, Sveta, is having a baby girl and her baby shower was last weekend. Sveta is a genuine, kind-hearted person. It’s interesting that during pregnancy, she is even nicer. What? I thought pregnant women usually have a short fuse? Nope! Not Sveta! Shes all-the-merrier. She’s a gem of a friend (i consider her my friend).
Those of you who are blessed to have her as such (and as your hair stylist) know that she is a good listener and always has some wisdom to pass along. Sveta, I am blessed to have you as my younger sister.
I have to say this was the most elegant and beautiful shower I’ve ever had the privilege to attend. If you didn’t know, there are five girls in our family and she is the last of the five sisters to have a baby (the youngest are always the most spoiled right?).
My sister Alla was the brains and creativity behind this operation and we were doing her bidding. She definitely outdid herself (as usual) sewing what seemed like miles of bunting and all kinds of other pretty’s.
Sveta, what made the party great was knowing you had fun. Here’s a peak at the decor, radiant mama and some of the guests (don’t worry, I omitted pictures where people looked extremely hungry or unusually awkward).
Thankfully this was only a doll. Poor doll. But they did manage to get her diapered and dressed with one hand each; yep, you’re ready for parenting!
My sisters Alla & Anna. (ha ha I love candid photos):

Sveta, I can’t wait to meet your little princess! God bless you in the rest of your pregnancy and delivery!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Great job! The shower looks beautiful and it seems like everyone had a great time. It’s so elegant, warm and tasteful. You are a master.
I wish I could take the credit, but my sister is the creative “master” here 🙂 Thank you Olga!
You weren’t kidding when you called this shower beautiful! The photo of the gorgeous table took my breath away. I spy your cupcakes amongst the treats-they were perfectly beautiful for this pretty shower. 🙂
Thank you so much Veronica 🙂 my sister has good taste in this stuff 😉
what a beautiful shower~ and those cupcakes—yes, ill be making those, except we live in ky and there is no way to get canadian flour:(
That’s ok, just use cake flour 🙂 I hope you love them! Canadian flour is cheaper than cake flour, but both work very well.
Beautiful Baby Shower……everything looks gorgeous. Lots of good wishes to your sister.
I see you had that Napoleon Cake on the table…..I still have to find time to make one. When I was growing up anytime there was a function that cake would appear. Thanks for sharing your photo’s.
Thank you 🙂 we call that the spartak cake and it definitely shows up often and gets eaten quickly. It’s soo good!
Elegant party with creative decorations. Beautiful family. Oh my! So much loveliness in one family. Thank you for sharing the joy.

Thank you Jen 🙂
My younger sister, Olya, is my best friend as well 🙂 Congratulations on upcoming little one to Sveta and your whole family! God bless! When is your little niece expected to make her entrance?
Third week of July; she said 25 more days 🙂
Natasha, great post. The candid shot is funny. It was a great party and I loved spending time with my best friends (my sisters) as well. Sisters are amazing.
Fewwww, I’m glad you thought it was funny too (since I didn’t run it by you first), but I redeemed the moment with the next picture down. 🙂 Alla, you did a great job! Thanks for hounding me even when I grumbled about all the punching and cutting. It turned out amazing!
beautiful family natasha.would u share that cupcake recipe?
Yep, I sure will! They were so so perfect and easy! It will be my next post 🙂
Very pretty looking!
God bless your whole family )
Natasha, is that your mom’s spartak cake?
Thank you so much! Yes it is my Mom’s Spartak cake that I have posted 🙂

Thank you ☺
It’s so adorable I can’t live without my family either! Though we live a state away they are always there for me! I miss them like crazy. Hope they move closer soon! God Bless your sisters delivery! 🙂 smile
That would be tough. My sister was clear across the country for a couple years and you definitely feel like something is missing. We’re glad to have her home in Idaho again.
