Cupcakes are fun, individually wrapped treats we all know and love. We wanted to twist your typical cupcake for the BBQ grill. These make great desserts for picnic, Father’s Day, summer backyard events and more. Best of all, these cupcakes are easy, fun for little helpers, and will look like you slaved all day in the kitchen making them!

Don’t forget our inspirational Father’s Day Cake Designs too!

Pair this idea with our Fathers’ Day BBQ Mason Jar Gift Idea with free SVG Files.

BBQ Cupcakes

Ingredients:

  • Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix
  • Betty Crocker whipped vanilla frosting
  • Wilton chocolate melting candy
  • Gumdrops
  • Mike and Ike’s
  • Junior Mints
  • Yellow sugar sprinkles
  • Brown, red, and yellow food coloring

You will also need

  • Decorating bags
  • Toothpicks
  • Large star frosting tip
  • Parchment paper
  • Cupcake pan
  • Cupcake liners


Directions:

First, preheat your oven and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

Prepare your cupcakes as directed on the box. (Gotta love this easy step!)

Separate your can of frosting into two separate cups.

Place a couple drops of yellow food coloring in one cup and a couple drops of red food coloring in the other cup and mix.

Place your star tip in the bottom of a large decorating bag.

Scoop your yellow frosting into one side of the bag and the red frosting into the other side of the bag.

Frost a swirl onto each cupcake and top off with your yellow sugar sprinkles.

Melt two cups of your chocolate melting candy in a microwave safe dish on 50% power for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

Scoop your all the chocolate into a decorating bag and cut a small tip off the end.

Next, lay your parchment paper out on the table and draw small 4 inch circles with lines across with your melted chocolate bag and let harden.

When your chocolate grill tops have hardened, place them gently on top of your cupcakes.

Cut small squares from your gum drops, place them on a toothpick to look like a skewer, and set it gently on top of your chocolate grill.

Add a couple orange mike and Ike’s and/or Junior Mints to each grill.

Finally, to make the grill marks on your hot dogs, dip the end of a toothpick into brown food coloring and press gently onto each orange Mike and Ike.

I am a big fan of Panera! In fact, when working on our Best Copycat Panera Recipes, I was at Panera scarfing on a meal. You know, post inspiration!  One of my favorite things from Panera Bread is their  Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. It goes so well with their honey walnut spread. So delicious, it should make me feel guilty ordering it for dessert.

I wanted to take my favorite Panera Bread recipe and create a recipe for you to enjoy at home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Saw the 2018 Movie – Now Read the Book

Yesterday, we shared some books with you that are being turned into movies. Today, we have some books that you need to read that were released as movies in 2018.

We LOVED the movie A Wrinkle in Time. My daughter in particular was a big fan of it, so now I want her to read the book! If you haven’t read this one yet, you need to. It’s an incredible book.


Did any of you see Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton in theaters? This is the story of state intelligence officer Dominika Egorova has been drafted to become a “Sparrow” in Russia conflicting with the CIA agent to whom she is assigned.


I haven’t seen Crazy Rich Asians yet, but I’ve been dying to, and I am planning on renting it this weekend. Not only have I heard that the movie is great, but I’ve heard the book is amazing, too. I am definitely getting this book since the book is always better than the movie!


I have heard nothing but amazing things about the movie The Maze Runner, too. If you like edge-of-your-seat movies and books (like me!) you’ll want read this one to find out if the main character makes it through the maze outside where he’s being held alive.


Annihilation is the story of four women whose mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X – an area that has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades and no longer has human civilization. This book sounds so intriguing!


Every Day is the captivating story of the complexities of life and love in A’s world as A wakes up in a different body and a different life every day yet is still in love with the same girl.
