Baby Rattle Cupcakes

Baby Rattle Cupcakes

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?

    • November 9, 2014 at 1:51 pm

      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!

    • October 24, 2017 at 10:02 pm

      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.
