Decorating the baby shower cupcakes gives you many different options.  You can decorate each cupcake individually or you can spell out BABY on groups of four cupcakes.  Each cupcake can have a letter.  You can even make one of them slightly different and then pass them out, giving the person who gets the different cupcake a prize in somewhat of a baby shower game. 

You can also decorate baby shower cupcakes with sprinkles or even small candies that are shaped like baby rattles or pacifiers.  There are lollypops that are made with baby feet that can also be put on the baby shower cupcakes as well.  You can either take them off and put them on the cupcakes flat or you can cut the stem of the holder and stick them into the cupcakes.


Whether you make baby shower cupcakes yourself or if you have them made at a bakery, they are sure to be a hit at a baby shower.  These cupcakes are a sure fire way to celebrate a baby shower in style.  Cupcakes are easier to handle than cakes because there is no problem when it comes to cutting them or proportion size.  You can simply hand them out.  If you are baking baby shower cupcakes yourself, you will find that they are also easier to bake.  You do not have to worry about putting the cake layers together after taking them out of the pans or allowing them to cool.  You can simply take the cupcakes out of the cupcake pans after they have baked and cooled and decorate them.  And there are just so many different ways to decorate baby shower cupcakes to make them fun and charming for the baby shower.
