BBQ cupcakes
Ants at a picnic cupcakes
This is the only time you’ll actually want to see ants at your picnic. This yummy dessert features those pesky insects but in the best way possible. They’re made out of M&Ms with chocolate frosting for legs, and they rest on a bed of green frosting. You can add watermelon candy slices to complete the summer look.
Raspberry lemonade cupcakes
The refreshing flavor of raspberry lemonade cupcakes is just what is needed on a hot summer night. These cupcakes have an irresistible buttercream frosting that tops the yummy lemon cake. Not only is the pink frosting brilliant and bright, but there is no added coloring — it’s all natural!
Corn on the cob cupcakes
While corn can be sweet on its own, corn on the cob cupcakes are an even sweeter treat. Although this dessert doesn’t actually use corn, the likeness is uncanny. Jelly beans top the cupcakes, resembling the corn kernels, and yellow Starbursts are used to look like pats of butter. The end result is one delicious-looking ear of corn!
Lemon blackberry cupcakes
These lemon blackberry cupcakes are sure to please everybody at summer parties. The mix of tart flavors results in a refreshing dessert. While this version is made with blackberries, any type of berry can be used. Be sure to experiment and find your favorite combination.
Mojito cupcakes
The perfect summertime drink is now the perfect summertime cupcake. Spice up the dessert table at your next picnic with mojito cupcakes. The combination of lime and mint makes these cupcakes a light and refreshing treat. The rum gives them an extra kick, which means this dessert is for adults only. Keep them off the kids’ table!
Beach cupcakes
What could be better than edible sand? Nothing! This fun, summer-themed dessert brings the beach to your kitchen. The bright blue frosting perfectly resembles the ocean peeking through the “sand” on top, which is actually just crumbled cookies or graham crackers. Add some cocktail umbrellas to complete your beach cupcakes, and enjoy!
