As if cupcakes are not already fun enough, check out these great ideas to take them to a whole new level. We hope you love them as much as we do.

1. Aren’t these funky? This creative idea involves painting the inside of the icing bag with food coloring instead of tinting the icing itself.  We love how easy this is so that anyone (even kids) can create some really cool looking cupcakes. Learn how to make your own colorful swirled cupcakes.



2. Our kids love when their food looks like stuff and cupcakes make that so easy. A great example is clown cupcakes. Cute for birthdays or “just because”, these make a fun project
   to have little ones help with. Looking for a birthday party activity?  Put out the supplies and let the guests create their own funny faces.

   

3. Looks like an ice cream cone, tastes like cake. The ice cream cone cupcakes are cute and super easy. They make a fun alternative to a birthday cake for a summer party or a snack at the next playgroup.

   

4. Arrange a bunch of cupcakes on a plate and ice them together. Voila!  You have a pull apart cake. Not only can you make some interesting shapes, but it also makes serving everyone a snap.

   

5. It made us laugh when we came across the idea for meatloaf cupcakes. They look exactly like the real mccoy but without the sugar.

   

6. Itty bitty goodness, these cupcake pops make fun gifts when you wrap them individually. Although we’re not sure we would be willing to give them away.

   

7. What do you get when you combine cupcakes and strawberries?  A fun surprise!  These strawberry stuffed cupcakes are as delicious as they are cute.

   

8. Fill cupcakes with all sorts of yummy creams and jams to create something really different. See these instructions for filling cupcakes to learn the technique and then get creative with your
   own fillings.

   

9. We can’t believe we didn’t think of this! Combine cupcakes and chococlate chip cookie dough to make the ultimate treat.  See this recipe for cookie filled cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
