ITEMS NEEDED: You will need a few items to get your started on your centerpiece. First, you should get a cupcake tree stand from the store. They are usually plastic, but you can find other kinds as well. Then you will need a box of cupcake mix and icing. You can usually find cute pastel blue, pink, or green cupcake icing and sprinkles to decorate your cupcakes with at the store. You will also need some small pieces of baby's breath, you can find this at most craft stores or flower shops.

CUPCAKES: First you need to take your cupcake mix and bake your cupcakes by the direction on the box. Next, use your cupcake icing and ice the cupcakes once they cool and decorate them to your liking. Add some pastel sprinkles to make them look like baby girl or baby boy colors.

BABY TOYS: Next collect some baby toys. This could be little baby rattles, half size baby bottles, pacifiers, teethers, bibs, burping clothes, and more. Be creative in coming up with some little baby toys and necessities that could be set on the cupcake tree in the places where cupcakes would set.

MAKE THE EASTER CUPCAKE CENTERPIECE: Once your cupcakes are ready you can set up your centerpiece. First, take a tiny bit of the baby's breath and place it on each spot made for cupcakes to set on the cupcake tree stand. Then you simply place a baby toy in one spot and then a cupcake in the next spot and then another baby toy and so on. Simply go back and forth until all of the spots on your cupcake tree stand are filled. This is an excellent centerpiece that you will be proud to set on your baby shower table.
