Cupcake Tuesday ~ Father’s Day Cupcakes

Jump to recipe!

Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday!   If you are new here, grab a cup of tea or a glass of milk and enjoy a cupcake!

I’m sharing some of my Cupcakes today over at Attempting Creative, she is hosting a Cupcake Carnival!

In celebration of  Father’s Day, I made some fun Cupcakes to share with you.

Does your Hubby or Father enjoy Grilling? Or is he like my husband, a Landscaper and cut grass? Maybe even an Executive that has to wear a tie to work! Well, I’ve got you covered for all 3!

Here is the how-to video for you…

You will need…

Grill Master Cupcakes:

  • Tootsie Rolls
  • Yellow Starburst
  • Red Hot Tamales
  • Frosting, tinted Red, Light Brown, Dark Brown or gray

Lawn Mower Cupcakes:

  • Hershey Nuggets (or another candy, similiar size)
  • M&M’s (4 brown & 1 colored for each lawn mower)
  • Black Licorice for the handle
  • Green Frosting
  • Wilton #233 to make grass

Executive Cupcakes:

  • Fruit Stripe gum
  • Wilton white pearls
  • Frosting, white and peach colored for the neck

My inspiration for these cupcakes came from a couple sources…I first saw the grills in the Wilton Cupcake Fun book (but I changed mine), and the Lawn Mowers over at Flickr. The ties were my own inspiration.

  5. I am already planning ahead for the 4th of July. I think these red, white and blue batter cupcakes would make a festive dessert for the holiday weekend. So glad I could link up to this weeks party!!!
