Fun Cupcake recipes and decoration ideas for kids parties, holidays, birthday parties and weddings

There is nothing I love more than those gorgeous little cartoons that entertain kiddies for hours! One such cartoon is the delightful Peppa Pig! So today as a great idea for a toddler’s birthday I thought I would feature these way too cute 2D Peppa Pig cupcakes! They look great and creating two dimensional images (ie flat) is a great way to build confidence in cupcake decorating.
This great example is from Angelina Cupcake.

Did you know that Chip n’ Dale are about 60 years old? They look pretty amazing, huh!
For some random reason yesterday I was cruising the internet to find out cartoon characters from the 1950s. Well the reason isn’t really random, I am getting married to my long term partner at the end of the year and it is as 50s wedding, so I wanted a cute 50s cartoon for our invites (work with me, I thought it would be cute), but most of the cartoons are men! Think Snagglepuss (1959), Huckleberry Hound (1958), Yogi Bear, etc!
The best I could come up with were Fred and Wilma Flintstone! … As I said, it was an idea!
But in looking I did briefly consider Chip n’ Dale, but of course they are two boys. Though one looks very feminine! Did you know they originally both looked more alike, but then they changed the nose of Dale to red so that you could tell them apart?
So I learnt many things, one is that I need to think of a better idea for my wedding invite! But I love these cute Chip n’ Dale cupcakes I found, created by Cupkeiks, they are so bright and funky. Perfect for a kid’s birthday or for a colorful fifties wedding!

There are not many children who do not love Sponge Bob! So today I thought I would bring you a group of Sponge Bob Square Pants cupcakes that Paula Henning recently created. The only really terrible thing about this show, is the terribly annoying song which gets stuck into your brain. Right now, as I type this, I cannot help humming along…
The first photo above show Gary Snail and a happy Sponge Bob, and the next a smiling Sponge Bob, and finally below Patrick Star.
These cupcakes represent a fantastic design that you can adapt. With the pattern mostly flat, you can layer your fondant to create the images. Get an icing pen in black to be able to draw on the fine details such as Sponge Bob’s eyelashes and eyeballs.
