Oktoberfest Beer & Diapers Baby Shower

I have been told this is a common theme for baby showers in southern Illinois -- anywhere else, I'm not sure. The men bring beer for the dad-to-be and the women bring diapers for the mom-to-be. Hardly seems right, I think the mom-to-be should receive jewels and such if going that route! The "Bay-bee" (said with a southern drawl!) was created out of crispy treat and covered with tinted chocolate. The bulls eye on it's belly was a inside joke for the parents. Barrel was covered with chocolate fondant. Cheese and pretzels created out of milk and white chocolate with sugar crystals on pretzels represent salt.
