A Baby Shower

I got to make cupcakes for a friend's baby shower this past weekend. It was so fun to make something so cute. I went with an orange creamsicle cupcake from BHG. I liked the recipe, but found myself wanting a little more creamy or milky flavor. The recipe calls for a cream cheese frosting with a couple of teaspoons of orange gelatin mix and a teaspoon of orange zest added to it. It was just a little too tangy for me, but still good and oh so enjoyable.

The shower was a Noah's ark theme so I baked my cupcakes in baby animal printed baking cups. I used a french tip to pipe my frosting and covered each cake with white sprinkles. I finished the cupcakes with fondant baby animals. My fondant was too thick, but I was worried about the animals staying in place if I made them too thin. I also happen to really like fondant - surprise, surprise.
