Cupcake Tuesday~Memorial Day Cupcakes
Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! If you are new here, grab a cup of tea or a glass of milk and enjoy a cupcake!
Summertime is upon us here in Indiana. Do you have a Memorial Day Cookout to go to? I sure hope so, because I have the perfect Memorial Day Cupcakes for you.
How about Hamburgers with a side of Corn on the Cob? And it wouldn’t be a picnic without ants, right? Once again, I started with the ideas from the What’s New, Cupcake? and Hello, Cupcake books. I also found the hamburger cupcakes on Flickr.
Would you like to learn how to create these fun and easy cupcakes? Great, I made a How-to Video to help.
How fun! I think they would be a hit at any Memorial Day get together, summer picnic or even Fourth of July party!

Hi. The burgers are so adorable! I am curious about why you chose apple juice for moistening the top cupcake.
Thanks so much for these great ideas!
Hi Jody, By dipping them in apple juice, then the sesame seeds with stick. You could also use water. The apple juice just give the cupcake a little flavor.
Thanks for visiting!
