Birds' Nest Baby Shower Cupcakes

These were the cupcakes I made for my sister's baby shower a couple weeks ago. They are coconut flavored cupcakes and chocolate coconut cupcakes. I also made my very popular favors: red velvet and chocolate hazelnut cupcakes, which you've already seen, and maybe even tasted :) The baby shower cupcakes are topped with toasted sweetened shredded coconut. I made the cute little birdies our of fondant (you could also make them blue for a baby boy). I also added sweetened shredded coconut in the cake.

Ladybug Birthday Cupcake Favors

These cupcakes were the favors I recently made for a birthday party. They are cute little pink ladybugs on leaves. I enjoyed making them so much!  The mom wanted them for her 1 year old daughter's baptism/birthday party. She asked me to used these cute favor boxes that she had ordered from papermart.com. The flavor of the cupcake is red velvet with cream cheese buttercream frosting and the photo above it are madagascar bourbon vanilla cupcakes with a madagascar bourbon vanilla bean buttercream--very yummy! :)
