Cake Babies.

I was asked over the weekend to do cupcakes for a baby shower – they were nursery rhyme-themed. I haven’t really thought about nursery rhymes in a great many years. In fact, I couldn’t even remember any of them! I had to look them up! But once I started googling, they all came rushing back. Then came the difficult decision of which ones to actually simulate in cupcake form. So, after careful consideration, I went with:

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

baby, you’re a star.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

is that a spider on your cupcake?

and The Three Little Pigs.

little pig, little pig, let me in!

In addition to these, I did some complimentary pastel colored cupcakes, complete with a little glitter (i.e., sugar crystals).

These were fun to make! I hadn’t really been doing much of this kind of thing lately, and it was great to get back into it! But the flood gates are open now – I’ve got cupcakes for a party this weekend, and a cake for my nephew next weekend – pictures and stories to come! 🙂
