BABY PACIFIER SHOWER FAVORS



Baby Pacifier Shower Favors image

Originally featured on "The Baby Story", this party favor has come in handy over the years when I used to cater! They can be used in so many ways, too! As favors and decorations on tables and plates, on top of cakes and cupcakes, necklace nametags, and even for playing the "Can't Say the Word" shower game where every guest is...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2-13 oz. bags of white individually wrapped lifesavers candies (wintergreen, peppermint, your choice)
2 dozen jelly belly jelly beans , about 1/2 cup, colors will vary, and depending on whether you know the sex of the baby or not, possibilities are endless!
6 oz. tube white cake icing , not the gel,that doesn't dry completely, with a thin attachment for application
24 lengths of thin curling ribbon , can coordinate with your jellybean colors if you'd like,length to your liking, long enough to fit around (approx. 24") or longer for necklaces

Steps:

  • 1. Unwrap all the Lifesavers. Take one Lifesaver and apply a thin layer of frosting around the inner hole. Grab a jellybean and place one of the short, ROUND ends in it, so the length of the jellybean is coming out of the hole. Flip the Lifesaver over. On the other side, take the frosting and make a slightly thicker (yet still on the thin side) layer of frosting around the inner hole/center, and place another Lifesaver perpendicular attaching edge of 2nd Lifesaver to center of 1st Lifesaver with jellybean attached to it. Place on flat surface and allow to dry. After drying for 3-4 hours, thread curling ribbon through the hole of the 2nd Lifesaver and tie in a knot. So cute!! :D (Photos by Dr. JenLeddy)

OLD-FASHIONED MOLASSES CANDY



Old-Fashioned Molasses Candy image

This hard candy was always the first thing to sell out at fundraisers we held back when I was in high school. I still make the melt-in-your-mouth morsels every Christmas.

LIFESAVERS CANDY PACIFIERS (BABY SHOWER) RECIPE - (4/5)



Lifesavers Candy Pacifiers (Baby Shower) Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large bag individually wrapped white Lifesavers candy (in a bag), 2 for each "pacifier" (I used Wintogreen flavor)
Pink Grapefruit or Peach flavored Jelly Belly jellybeans (or similar color)
White melting chocolate (I used Wilton Bright White candy melting wafers)
Cords or narrow ribbons, optional

Steps:

  • Picture Tutorial Directions: Step 1: 2 dots of melted white chocolate on the smooth side of a Lifesaver, directly across from each other. (I use a toothpick.) Step 2: With the Lifesaver laying on counter (smooth side up), place another Lifesaver vertically (smooth side facing you) over the 2 dots of melted chocolate and hold in place for a few seconds, then set aside to harden completely in that position. Continue repeating this step until desired number of pacifiers is reached. (The "nipples" will be added in next step). Step 3: Starting with the first ones you made in Step 2, pick up and turn a half-made pacifier over (to the side with the hole showing) and line the edge of center hole with melted chocolate. (I used a toothpick.) Immediately go to Step 4 after each one. Step 4: Place a jellybean vertically in the center hole of Lifesaver. (I turn both smooth sides of the Lifesavers toward me, then align the side of jellybean that has the little dip in the center toward the front). After each one is completed, immediately jump to step 5. Step 5: After each "pacifier" is finished in Step 4, place it upright between the wires of a 1 to 2" high wire cooling rack. Continue Steps 3 through 5 until all pacifiers are finished. Let set for at least an hour (or longer) before transferring to a serving display. This is really important! If moved before completely hardened, they will come apart.
