Introduction

1. One disposable diaper for newborns per cupcake.
2. Paper cupcake liners, in appropriate colors
3. A glue gun
4. Accessories, as desired, to "top" the cupcakes
Instructions
1. Open the diaper, and fold it lengthwise, either in half or in thirds, so that it is a little taller than the cupcake paper.
