Answer 2

The only thing I can think of sounds kind of crude. Make whatever kind you want, decorate them with flesh colored icing, and put a bottle nipple in the middle. I guess that would be funny or appalling depending on the crowd. And if you have too many cupcakes, mommy would be inundated with nipples so only do a few.

Or you can decorate them with small items that will be used for the baby. Diaper pins, electric outlet covers, tiny spoons. When you are done, wash up the items and give to mom.

All these are added to decorated cupcakes, whatever way you like, I presume pink frosting and various kinds of sprinkles.

You could make a chain of cupcakes decorated all together to look like a caterpillar.

Make toothpick flags. Curling ribbon. Before curling it, write questions or topics with a very sharp permanent marker. Then curl the ribbon by zipping it against a scissor blade and tape it to the toothpick and insert into the cupcake. Variation is to do curling ribbon but also add the question to the flag on a piece of paper. Whatever cupcake the person takes, they talk about that topic while you are having refreshments. Sample questions:

Tell us your most interesting new baby story.
What are you willing to do for this family?
Name your fav bedtime story, why do you love it so much?
What do you love most about being a mom?
Tell us your fav new mom tip.
Best advice for this new mom?
Tell us your earliest memory of childhood.

You could also bake something into ONE cupcake. Whoever gets that cupcake gets a doorprize. Perhaps something edible like a chocolate chip or hershey's kiss.

Images that would be easy enough to create with icing: Rubber ducky, diaper, diaper pin, simple face with pink ribbon and a little hair curl on top.

Other refreshments that emphasize pastels: butter mints, M and M pearls (pirates of the caribbean thing, may be still available, these are pastel MMs with white chocolate). You could scatter these around your display of cupcakes.

Answer 3

Yellow and chocolate cupcakes with pink and white sprinkles and pink and white frosting. Try to find some cute mini ballet slippers, baby bottles, or bows to stick on the cupcakes.

Answer 4

Check out the ones on Martha Stewarts web site. It will unclog you and get your mojo running. Seriously i have gotten loads of really good recipes and ideas from her site.

Answer 5

I call them cupcakes on a cone. you need 6....12 washed and stripped veggie tin can tops off only 6...12 sugar cones box of cake mix and frosting preheat oven 350 mix batter pour in cones up to thin part of cone leave top part of cone empty batter will rise up to the top of cone before putting them in oven place tin can with cone con. batter on cookie sheet do 6 at a time...cool and frost and sprinkle with color sprinkles...

Answer 6

pink pacifiers on the cupcakes? (as in drawing them on with pink frosting - but if you can find tiny pink pacifier candies to put on thats cool)
put them all in a row like a rectangle and put frosting on it as usual and spell its a girl! on it..
try going to the store michaels..they have the cutest cake pans and confettis there for cakes :)

Answer 7

Use the palest possible pink icing, you could either top them with tiny white roses, small white booties or even ice them with her name.

LINE 24 medium muffin cups with paper liners. Pour batter evenly into cups, filling each cup 1/2 full. Place a small marble or 1/2-inch ball of foil between each liner and one side of the cup, pushing the paper in to form a heart shape. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely; remove marble or foil.
