Sweet Watermelons and Twin Ice Pops – Summertime Cupcakes

Sabrina

summertime cupcakes

My 10-year-old daughter was at it again this summer…baking and decorating summer themed cupcakes. They were so cute (and yummy)…I thought I would share these simple summer cupcake designs with our followers…perfect to bring to your next summer BBQ! Both cupcake designs were inspired by pinners on Pinterest.

Sweet Watermelon Cupcakes

Ingredients: cupcake mix,  food coloring, mini chocolate chips, buttercream frosting

Directions:

  1. Mix cupcake batter according to package (she baked mini-sized cupcakes for this recipe).
  2. Add drops of red coloring to the cupcake batter to resemble a watermelon red.
  3. Add mini-chocolate chips to batter.
  4. Fill cupcake liners and bake according to package.
  5. While cupcakes are baking, make buttercream frosting (She uses Wilton’s Buttercream Recipe http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Buttercream-Icing ) and add food coloring to make a mint green color (6 green drops and 2 yellow drops).
  6. Once cupcakes are baked and cooled, frost cupcakes. When you bite into the cupcake, the inside looks like a sweet slice of watermelon!

Twin Ice Pops Cupcakes

Ingredients: cupcakes, buttercream frosting, rainbow sprinkles, Mike and Ike Candies, toothpicks

Directions:

  1. Bake cupcakes according to package.
  2. Make buttercream frosting (She uses Wilton’s Buttercream Recipe http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Buttercream-Icing ).
  3. Once cupcakes are baked and cooled, frost cupcakes (She decided to use a Wilton 2D tip because it resembles soft serve ice cream). Add rainbow sprinkles.
  4. Matching two Mike and Ike candy colors, cut toothpick and push into each candy to resemble a twin ice pop. Place on top of cupcake.
