Cocktail Cupcakes ~ Cupcake Tuesday
Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! If you are new here, grab a cup of tea or a glass of milk and enjoy a cupcake!
Before we get started with these SUPER fun Cocktail Cupcakes, I wanted to be sure you all knew about the Cupcake Challenge that starts next week. I’ve listed the details for you over on the Cupcake Tuesday page. I hope you can join in the fun!!
Also, in case you missed it, on Saturday, I started a new feature, Hoosier Homemade’s Weekly Review, among other things, I’m highlighting some of my favorite cupcakes from Cupcake Tuesday (I did a fun collage too). Be sure to include a link back to Hoosier Homemade either in your post or on your blog, or I can’t feature you.
Before you watch the video, I need to tell you that I’ve been at the Water Park all day with the boys. My face is a little “sun kissed” to say the least, and I was trying to get this video put together for you before I lost daylight. So, please bear with me, but I think you will LOVE them!
So…what do you think? Are they not the cutest ever???
Cocktail Cupcakes supplies…
- White cake mix plus needed ingredients (you can learn how I make my cake mix taste like I made it from scratch, in my video)
- Coloring…my favorite is Wilton
- Candy…various candy, Jelly Belly’s, Skittles, Gummi Lifesavers, etc, I apologize, in the video I called them Cocktail Combo, they are actually…Cocktail Classic Jelly Belly
, and they come with Pina Colada, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito, Peach Bellini, and Pomegranate Cosmo. YUM!
- Frosting…canned works best for melting
- Glasses for baking…I bought mine at the Dollar Tree
Update: I’ve had several people ask, I’m sorry, I thought it was in the video, but I might not have said it…you need to fill the glasses about 1/2 full with batter. The martini glasses will fit a standard size cupcake.
Rootbeer Floats and Cokes supplies…
- White cake mix with a little brown coloring
- Buttercream Frosting with a little brown coloring
- Wilton #12 round tip
- Glasses and straws
I mentioned in the video that I would let you know about the What’s New, Cupcake? Newsletter…if you head on over to their website, you can sign up to receive their free newsletter.
Be sure to head on over and link up to Delicious Dishes (Tues a.m.) on It’s A Blog Party, my other blog, where I host a different linky party everyday! I’m starting a new, yummy giveaway too!
Now, it’s time to share your creations! Please be sure to link back to this post so your readers can enjoy all the entries and visit one or all of the participants.

These are great! I am going to have to check out the dollar store for some cute cups. I am also super excited about the Cupcake Challenge! The only bad part is my hubby will have to make them for the first round since I will be recovering from surgery. I will have to keep a very close eye on him!!!!

Wow great post and great blog! I look forward to reading tons more. I didn’t realize you could bake in glass like that. How full did you fill the glasses before baking? Like about half way or so? Visiting from creative share wednesdays. Hope you can stop by too.
