Step 2: Break off two small pieces of white fondant. Tint one piece light blue and the other light green.

Step 3: Roll the blue fondant out on a flat surface to about 1/8" thick. Cut out flower shapes using the small flower cutter. Set aside.

Step 4: Break off a small piece of green fondant and roll into a ball. Flatten ball by pressing down on it with your finger. Gently pinch the ends to form points. Set aside.

Assembling Bibs:

Step 1: Dip food safe paint brush in water and dampen the back of the blue flower. Gently press it onto the bottom right of the bib.

Step 2: Using a toothpick or pointed slylus, press into the center of the flower to create a slight depression. Carefully position a white sugar pear in the center.

Step 3: Lightly dampen the end of the leaf and position it to the side of the blue flower.

Step 4: Allow fondant bib to dry and set.

Icing and Decorating the Baby Shower Cupcake:

Step 1: Fit the opening of a pastry bag with a Wilton #1M star metal tip. Fill the icing bag with light blue butter cream.
