I love baking for parties, no matter what the occasion -- but is there anything more fun than baking pink things for a girl's baby shower? I went to Little Bitts in Wheaton, MD, and picked up a nice assortment of pink sugar decorations -- pacifiers, teddy bears, baby carriages, baby faces, bibs, booties, and safety pins. I made cupcakes using the recipe for Restaurant Eve's Cake, and tinted the frosting pink.
Congratulations Will and Cecelia!

I can't believe I never figured this out until now, but I just discovered that if you frost cupcakes in a swirl pattern using a closed star tip (I used a Wilton 2D drop flower tip), you end up with something that looks a lot like a rose. This technique requires virtually no effort and is perfect for someone like me who couldn't make a frosting rose if my life depended on it.
