Cupcakes are an essential part of any party now. They truly are stand out and unique things are being done to cupcakes now. So, why not showcase some unique cupcakes at your next summer party. Skip out on the cake, which risks melting in the hot summer heat, and opt for cupcakes which is an easy dessert to serve. So, Wedding and Party Network has some must have summertime cupcakes.
The Cheeseburger Cupcake – Summer is all about the BBQ's and grilling out. Therefore, why not create a cupcake that resembles just that with a cheeseburger cupcake. Cheeseburgers are definitely staple pieces during the summer. They are easy to make, everyone likes them and they're just yummy. These are also super simple to make.
All you need to do is make a vanilla cupcake, chocolate brownies, cut the vanilla cupcake in half, use a circle cookie cutter to cut patties out of the chocolate brownie and place that in the center. Of course, you need the condiments for the cheeseburgers. You can dye shredded coconut green for the lettuce or just dye icing red, yellow and green for the condiments. Assemble and you'll have a cheeseburger cupcake.
Ice Cream Sundae Cupcake – Start with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla cupcake. Layer the batter in a cupcake liner to create a Neapolitan ice cream like cupcake. All you need to do to finish off the cupcake is to place whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top. For an extra special touch, add a fun little straw to the cupcake.
Margarita Cupcake – A refreshing margarita during the summertime is a must. However, why not switch it up a bit and go with a margarita cupcake instead. Basically, you take your basic vanilla cupcake, add some lime juice and top it off with some lime flavored icing, rim the cupcake with sugar and add a lime wedge for the finishing touch.
Watermelon Cupcake –A juicy piece of watermelon during a hot summer day is always a delightful treat. So, why not infuse the flavor into a cupcake. They are really simply adorable and super easy to create. Again, you just take your favorite, basic vanilla cupcake and add a bit of watermelon flavoring to it. You can even add a bit of green food coloring to make it stand out. For the icing, use your favorite buttercream recipe and add a bit of pink and red to the icing until you get that watermelon color. For the watermelon seeds, just use black sprinkles. This will be a big hit at your next outdoor party!
Snowcone Cupcake – Snowcones are such refreshing treats to cool off with in the summer. Who wouldn't want a snowcone cupcake? They are so cute and a great treat for summer. So, how do you make them? Prepare your cupcake batter and choose 3 colors that you would like to feature in your cupcake. Divide the batter into 3 bowls and use your food coloring to color the batter. Next, find cute cupcake liners and place the batter into the liner side by side. Just imagine how a snowcone looks.
For the cupcake icing, prepare your favorite recipe and again use those same 3 colors you used for the batter. How do you put the icing on? Again, just imagine how a snowcone looks with the round top and imitate that on top of the cupcake with the icing. Use colored sprinkles on top to create the ice look that you get with snowcones.
These 5 cupcakes will definitely be a must at your next summer party. They are all truly easy to make and represent everyone's favorite treats of summertime.
