Baby Shower Cupcakes

I had the opportunity to make some baby shower cupcakes for a coworker a few months back, and I just remembered to post the photos! We didn't know the baby's sex, so we went for pastel green and yellow and some traditional baby decorations: pascifiers, bottles, teeny footprints and a monogram. The cupcakes were blueberry white chocolate (made with fresh blueberries) and a lemony buttercream. Very fresh and yummy!

All decorations were fondant dusted with edible glitter. The tiny feet were my favorite.

Almond Babies!

When a coworker asked me to make four dozen Jordan almonds decorated like tiny babies for a baby shower she is throwing, I have to admit I was a little intimidated! It took some practice, but I think these little guys are adorable. The little faces are made of fondant balls, and the bonnets, hair and bows are Royal icing. We also did 20 jungle animal almonds using some great sugar decorations from Petit Flours (an awesome website). The koalas are my favorite.

This must be animal theme party week, because my next project is a cupcake tower with monkeys, lions, tigers, puppies, giraffes, bears, and more! Stay tuned for that one after Sunday!
