Pacifier Cupcakes Food

BABY PACIFIER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Bake cupcakes or buy them ready made without frosting.
• Color the vanilla frosting for the baby's skin by mixing 2 drops of yellow and 1 drop of red food coloring. Add more food coloring for desired skin tone. For darker skin use chocolate frosting.
• Frost the cupcakes with the flesh colored frosting.
• Place a pacifier into the bottom half of the cupcake.
• Use a black edible marker to customize the candy eyeballs. Draw larger pupils or make them cross-eyed.
• Place candy eyeballs on the cupcake to finish out your baby pacifier cupcakes.

PACIFIER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Bake your cupcakes as directed on the package. For the cupcakes with the pink frosting I added 5 chocolate chips to the batter of each cup before baking them. I put those in the pink cup cake liners so it matched the frosting and that way I knew which ones had the chocolate chips in them.
• 2. To make the butter cream frosting: Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat on high until light and fluffy. Frost your cooled cupcakes right away and if using the coconut, sprinkle the coconut over the frosting. This is enough to frost 12-18 cupcakes. Double this recipe to frost more or to frost a regular cake. Refrigerate cupcakes after frosted. Note**** Don't refrigerate frosting before you frost the cakes. It makes it very difficult to frost the cakes. (I learned that the hard way)
• 3. To make the lifesaver pacifiers: Take the 1/4 cup of the store bought white frosting and add powdered sugar to it until the frosting is quite stiff. I didn't measure it, I just eyeballed it. ** If you are not going to have other frosting flavors, rather than buying a tub of white frosting for the pacifiers, just mix powdered sugar with a tiny bit of milk until stiff.
• 4. Take a butter knife and apply a bit of the stiff frosting to the middle of the one lifesaver, some will go through the hole, no problem. Take another lifesaver and attach it sideways to the frosting you just applied. (if it doesn't stick, you need to add more powdered sugar to the white frosting.) After you have the lifesavers attached, add a little of the frosting to the other side of the hole and push a jelly bean into the frosted hole until it sticks. Smooth out the frosting around the jellybean with your finger.
• 5. When picking the jellybeans, make sure they are the colors you want before applying them. Here is a pic of some gourmet jellybeans.
• 6. Here's another picture of the cupcakes. You can create these however you want but I am just showing how to do the ones like I made. Everyone loved these! The pacifiers taste good too!

BABY PACIFIERS (SHOWER FAVORS)

Steps:

• Unwrap all the Lifesavers.
• Take one Lifesaver and apply a thin layer of frosting around the inner hole.
• Grab a jellybean and place one of the short, ROUND ends in it, so the length of the jellybean is coming out of the hole.
• Flip the Lifesaver over.
• On the other side, take the frosting and make a slightly thicker (yet still on the thin side) layer of frosting around the inner hole/center, and place another Lifesaver perpendicular attaching edge of 2nd Lifesaver to center of 1st Lifesaver with jellybean attached to it.
• Place on flat surface and allow to dry.
• After drying for 3-4 hours, thread curling ribbon through the hole of the 2nd Lifesaver and tie in a knot.
