Bake at 350: Cute as a Button Cupcakes

Welcome!? Come on in!? Today you're attending a baby shower.?
{Yes, you there...in your pajamas...you're at a baby shower.}
Our baby shower today is in honor of Jenny from Picky Palate.? Jenny is the creator of such lovelies as Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies, and Pumpkin Ice Cream Glazed Donuts, and she has a cookbook *just about* ready to come out. Jenny always has her two precious boys helping in the kitchen (I love that), and is currently cooking up another little helper. ;) Now, when I was asked to "bring something" for the shower (and if you must know, my household of 3 ate them all), I first thought of these Cute as a Button cookies, and thought, "I'll turn those into cupcakes!"? I then realized that maybe I had seen something like that before and lo and behold, Button Cupcakes are in Meaghan's book, Sugarlicious.? So, maybe I didn't come up with such an original idea after all. The cupcakes are just a simple one-bowl chocolate cupcake from Martha, topped with Shelly's vanilla buttercream and fondant buttons. You'll want to make the buttons ahead of time (the instructions are here), and let them dry a bit before using.? Place them on the cupcakes as close to serving as you can and don't refrigerate the fondant.

I used Satin Ice brand fondant, and tinted it in three shades of blue using AmeriColor Sky Blue gel paste food coloring.

Be sure to have some more baby shower snacks with the other hostesses!

Happy new baby, Jenny!!!? We're all so excited to see your newest little kitchen helper!!! ?
