Favors

Each guest will have a sweet treat to take home with them.
We are getting cupcakes from Sprinkles.
We are ordering 4 flavors and placing 2 of each at a table.

Bourbon Vanilla cake/Coconut Cream Cheese icing
They'll get coconut flakes and bow tie decorations.

Banana Dark Chocolate:
Fresh Banana cake/Bittersweet Chocolate icing
They'll have little palm tree decorations
