Baby Rattle Cupcakes are an easy
and sweet ending for a baby shower!
I found the idea on Pinterest when I needed a dessert to send with my husband for a baby shower at work. Cake decorating/frosting is not in my skill set, but there are lots of cute ways you could decorate and customize these rattles!
She is having a girl, can you tell? :)
The most time consuming part is
tying the bows on to the lollipop sticks,
double-sided ribbon helps.
Use a toothpick to make your hole in your cupcake and wrapper to help ease the lollipop stick in, likewise for the gum drop on the bottom of the “rattle”.
I used a lemon cake mix I doctored for the cupcakes,
substituting buttermilk for the water,
4 eggs instead of 3, and the same amount of oil
called for in the mix.
And tinted cream cheese frosting with food coloring.
Celebrate It 360° Grosgrain Ribbon (Michaels) for double-sided bows along with lollipop sticks (Wilton) and gumdrops from Dollar Tree, aka candy central.

Did you use store bought frosting, and what decorating tip was used?
Yes, either 1M or 2D :)

I’m sorry, I know this is three years old! However, I noticed there are two cupcake liners on the cupcakes. Is there any reason for that? Is it for aesthetic purposes? Could I only use one?
Thanks!
Yes, There are two just for asethetics. If you don’t use a greaseproof cupcake liners when baking, the paper and pattern of the liners don’t stay bright and vibrant.
