Make the Best-Ever baby shower cupcakes for your baby. They are quick, easy and homemade. We love personalizing our cupcakes to match the theme of the party. If it is a girl, use pink. If it is a boy, use blue. If you aren’t sure, make both! Break out of the typical pink and blue and go with another color. Either way, this is a quick and easy dessert for the next baby shower you host.
