When I got the message that my friend was having a baby girl, I immediately volunteered to do her baby shower… almost 500 miles away. I was warned that her friends were super talented, crafty folks, so I was going to have to bring my A game.  I think it came out pretty well!  Here was another one of my greatest hits from the weekend… DECORATE THE CUPCAKE!

I pulled this one out of my brain based on the nickname that my friend had for her new addition – cupcake.  I had heard of cupcake decorating parties where kids got to decorate their own cupcakes.  I figured that was a little juvenile for a baby shower, so I came up with a more grown cupcake decorating activity.  The baby was the cupcake, and we would decorate HER by drawing on, and re-working onesies, pants, and bows.  These were some seriously crafty party guests, so they got a kick out of it.
