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.

Oh Baby!

 This weekend I attended two baby showers; one for a baby girl and the other for a baby boy. The first image above has two different flavors: red velvet and chocolate hazelnut. They are two of my popular flavors. The red velvet cupcakes are topped with a pink flower made of royal icing. The second image above are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and blue vanilla buttercream frosting. I used brown and sky blue fondant for decorating.
