Baby Pacifiers (shower Favors)
By: Parrot Head Mama
Mar 2, 2005
I saw this on an episode of "The Baby Story" a long time ago and dug it out when it was time for my sister's baby shower. Very cute placed on the guest tables at baby showers or on the food buffet table. Also good for playing the "Can't Say the Word" shower game (where every guest is given an item, sometimes it's a clothespin, and they are instructed at the beginning of the shower that they can't say a certain word. each time a guest says that word in conversation to another guest, the offending person must surrender their item/clothespin to the person that caught them. The person with the most items at the end of the shower wins.).
SERVES 24
Ingredients
-
2 (13 ounce) bags of white individually wrapped Lifesavers candies (wintergreen, peppermint, your choice)
- 2 dozen jelly belly jelly beans, about 1/2 cup,colors will vary,depending on whether you know the sex of the baby or not,possibilitie
- 6 ounces 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 aro (approx. 24")
Directions
1
Unwrap all the Lifesavers.2
Take one Lifesaver and apply a thin layer of frosting around the inner hole.3
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.4
Flip the Lifesaver over.5
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.6
Place on flat surface and allow to dry.7
After drying for 3-4 hours, thread curling ribbon through the hole of the 2nd Lifesaver and tie in a knot.

The instructions were clear and these were so easy to make. We made them with blue, pink, green and yellow ribbons, as the cake was done in pastels and everything looked so cute together. Thank you! Kim

This idea is so cute it should get five stars but I found that there is a problem with the recipe. It is definately necessary to use royal icing. Otherwise, it takes way too long to dry!! I had to recruit my husband to help me hold them while they dried because I didn't use the royal icing. Hopefully everyone else will take the other reviewer's advice, it makes it a ton easier.

Just made these for a baby shower I was a hostess for. Some frustration in the beginning! I definitely suggest using the ROYAL icing that dries up very hard and makes a pacifier that is completely edible since guests seem to love to eat these. We used a stiff decorator's icing first,by mistake and it wouldn't set up hard enough to be able to handle these to arrange on trays. Finally realized I didn't have the Royal icing that sets up so hard. I found the meringue mix for it at the craft store and mixed it with water and powdered sugar. I used a tiny pencil size paint brush and just brushed the thin icing on. I did the two lifesavers first then 'glued' the jelly bean in the hole with the icing and set them up in a mini muffin pan (two to a hole) to dry. I tied small 1/4" gingham ribbon in pink, blue, yellow, green and purple on the handles to match the jelly beans. I put them on a glass pedestal cake plate on the sign in table with the flower arrangement and they looked so adorable. To my surprise many guests took one when signing in and when I looked out during the shower...I saw many ladies sitting there sucking their pacifiers!! It was a sight and good picture op. Out of the 30 my daughter and I made there were none left. The kids really loved eating them, too. I used the new Sweet Mint flavored life savers, picked gingham ribbon to match our theme and went to Target where you could buy jelly beans in individual colors. Too cute.

These are so easy & adorable. I didn't use the curling ribbon, and used these as toppers for blue-iced cupcakes. These were very easy; I scooped some icing from the cupcakes into a Ziploc bag and snipped the end instead of buying the little tubes. Worked great!! I used pep-o-mint life savers and blue (blueberry) Jelly Bellies. Thanks
