These simple cupcakes are made with any flavor cupcake {boxed mix or homemade} and tinted white frosting. Just add pacifiers and icing eyes and you have sweet treats that are always a hit at baby showers and parties!

For my active one year old Huggies Little Snugglers is the diaper I trust to give Stella that #SecondHug! These comfortable, leak proof diapers have been a favorite of ours since Stella was a newborn. Be sure to comment below with the reasons you love Huggies, too!

This week I purchased large boxes of Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers and Natural Care Wipes during our monthly Sam’s Club shopping trip.

Sam’s Club is offering a $3 off instant savings of Huggies Diapers and on top of that deal if you buy any two boxes of Huggies Snugglers and/or Huggies Natural Care Wipes between 5/9-6/30 you will get a $10 Sam’s Club gift card!

Learn about this awesome deal here.

I buy Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers because they are comfortable and breathable for my wiggle worm Stella Rose. The GentleAbsorb Liner (sizes N-2), which has tiny, soft pillows that provide a cushiony layer of protection and the color changing wetness indicator, are my favorite features.

Huggies Natural Care Wipes are gentle with TripleClean Layers and thick enough to handle any mess, with a texture that’s soft against your baby’s skin.

Hypoallergenic, fragrance and alcohol free, with a touch of aloe and Vitamin E, these wipes give a gentle clean for baby’s naturally perfect skin.

Trying to get a picture with these two looking at the camera is like trying to wrangle cats!

Baby Face Cupcakes

Ingredients

1 dozen cupcakes baked and cooled
1 cup white frosting
skin tone icing coloring {I used Ivory}
black decorative icing
12 clean pacifiers

Instructions

Add white frosting {about 1/2 a jar of frosting} to a small bowl.
Dip a toothpick into the skin tone icing color and swirl in the white frosting. A little goes a long way and the more you add, the darker the color.
Frost each cupcake with the colored frosting.
Cut the nipples off of each pacifier and press the pacifiers into the middle of the cupcakes.
Using black decorative icing add eyes and optional hair.

Notes

Serve these cute cupcakes at a baby shower, birthday party, or make as a cute gift for a Mom to Be!

I used a simple funfetti boxed mix for the cupcakes.

Any flavor will work but lighter color

I used icing colors, found in the baking section at the craft store.

You any skin tone color you want. I used Ivory for these cupcakes.

White frosting works best with the icing color.

Add white frosting {about 1/2 a jar of frosting} to a small bowl.

Dip a toothpick into the skin tone icing color and swirl in the white frosting.

A little goes a long way and the more you add, the darker the color.

Frost each cupcake with the colored frosting.

Simple and delicious!

I started with small, clean pacifiers.

Cut the nipples off of each pacifier.

Cut as much off as you can so the pacifiers will fit right into the cupcake.

Press the pacifiers into the middle of the cupcakes.

Using black decorative icing, add eyes and {optional} hair.

If you run out of pacifiers you can make a mouth with the black icing too.

How adorable is this?!

You can customize these any way you want with hair, eyes, noses, rosy cheeks, and, of course, pacifiers.

Serve these cute cupcakes at a baby shower, birthday party, or make as a sweet gift for a Mom to be!

Of course my kiddos and hubby had to sample them! They were a hit!

We love shopping at Sam’s Club for all our essentials, especially diapers!

Bun in the Oven Baby Shower and Raspberry Cinnamon Buns

Nicole Hood — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 05:32:00 +0000

My baby shower was such a fun celebration!

It was Bun in the Oven themed and I’m sharing all the details with you including my Raspberry Cinnamon Buns recipe.

Digital invites from The Party Stork on etsy.com

In June Ashton and I went home to Florida and celebrated our baby shower in Destin.

The theme was “Bun in the Oven” and my sweet friends and family went all out with the decorations and party planning! Ashton and I decided to wear matching shirts. Mine is from BabyTalkDesigns on etsy.com and Ashton’s is homemade!

The Bun Maker.

My two beautiful cousins, Lauren and Kristen

helped decorate. They even designed this adorable fingerprint guestbook!

Nathan “signing” the guestbook.

Decor including Advice for the Little Bun MadLibs cards (again an etsy find!)
and ultrasound pics of our baby girl!

My awesome parents filling out the Advice for the Little Buns cards.

My super crafty friend Connie made the tissue paper pompoms and this adorable banner!
Check out her blog here: The Crafty Soprano

Extra large tissue paper pompoms hung from the lights and the table was decorated with whimsical touches including Snowballs and Cinnamon Buns on sticks. Babies Breath flowers and Diaper Candy, basically and easier version of a Diaper cake with rolled diapers inside a receiving blanket tied on both ends with ribbon, were the centerpieces.

Connie also created this adorable oven from a Martha Stewart tutorial online.

Dad and Uncle Dickie made the seafood boil with freshly caught Royal Red Shrimp! Yum!

The Kentucky cousins catching up.

Game Time! Becca chose fun baby words games and bingo and a (slightly) embarrassing game where she secretly wrote down my responses when I was opening presents and then read them off as things I said on the night the baby was conceived! LOL

Mom and Aunt Jeanine hard at work on the Baby Word Search.

Connie won a prize!

Opening presents with Ashton. Isn’t it great that he was part of the shower?

(Although truthfully he hung out on the balcony with the guys during the games and “girlie stuff”)

My Raspberry Cinnamon Buns were a tasty treat.

You can also wrap them up in goody bags and attach a recipe card!

Fun tabletop treats: Little Debbie Cinnamon Rolls on skewers in vases of brightly colored candy

My childhood fave: pink Snowballs!

We also served Florida Key Lime Pie and my famous Bacon Wrapped Dates!

The guys loved the Southern Seafood Boil:

spicy jumbo shrimp cooked with sausage, corn on the cob, onions, and new potatoes.

Mom made a tasty Spinach Fruit Salad.
