Here is a little project that is simply adorable. It takes a little time so don't start this with plans to make a bunch the night before the party or you'll be up until the wee hours.
What You'll Need
Frosting - Keep it Stiff
Large Marshmallows
Ribbon
Small paper cup
Jelly Beans
1. Start by placing 2 marshmallows on the plate you are going to be working on. One marshmallow stands up and the other lays on its side beside it. Place the paper cup on top of the marshmallow standing up. This is the bootie base.
2. Make your frosting.I have linked to a frosting recipe you could use if you don't have one of your own. The frosting will be piped to create the boot feature above. The icing will harden around the marshmallow and cup to form the boot, then you can add treats in the top, like above. To finish, add a small ribbon to the front of the booties.
Your hand will get tired there is a lot of piping involved and if your like me and don't do it very often you can really build up your hand muscles.
WOW this is so cute! I am going to try to remember this for whoever comes up pregnant in my family next. Thanks for the idea!

I have had some requests for a frosting recipe for the baby booties. Here is a link that has a good recipe and describes different stiffnesses for different types of decorating. I used a "stiff" frosting on the baby booties.

Oh, that is so cute! Reminds me of when we made the Oreo pacifiers for Katie's shower, and after we struggled with dipping them in the melted chocolate, we discovered they make them already dipped. :)
