Rubber Duck

• Rubber duck cupcakes are not only easy to make but the toy on top can double as a party favor or gift for the baby. Frost the cupcakes with blue frosting. Use a frosting that easily forms peaks like mousse frosting. This will help the frosting resemble water. Top the cupcakes with a small rubber duck toy.
  
  

Pacifier Baby

• Plastic pacifiers are popular baby shower favors that have many uses from shower games, decor, and even food decorating. To make pacifier baby cupcakes, lightly frost each cupcake with icing. Use peach, brown or any skin shade icing you prefer. Place two chocolate chips, top side down, into the icing to represent the eyes. Gently wiggle a small plastic pacifier favor into the cupcakes. The cupcakes should now look like a baby faces sucking on a pacifier.
  
  

Transportation

• Transportation themes are popular for boy baby showers. To make a car cupcake, frost the cupcake lightly with black icing. Use a piping bag filled with white frosting to make dash lines to resemble a street lane. Place a plastic car in the middle of the lane. To create an airplane cupcake, frost the cup cake with light blue icing. Use white icing to create fluffy clouds and place a small airplane favor in the middle of the cupcake.
  
  

Sports

• Sports cupcakes are not only fairly easy to make but they coordinate perfectly with a sports themed baby shower. Frost the cupcake lightly with the color of the ball you are creating; orange for basketball brown for football. For the basketball, use a piping bag to draw on thin, brown lines to create a basketball design. For the football, draw a thick white line in the middle of the cupcake with four small white lines going over it to resemble a football.
