Sprinkles, Chocolate, Candy, and Snacks Come Together in These Cupcake Hacks

Cupcakes are the blank canvases of the dessert world. You have the creative freedom to do whatever you want with their design – and there’s nothing more beautiful. It’s time to put on your creative caps and go nuts.

Parties can feel incomplete without desserts to match the overall theme. The typical party themes can feel a bit overdone. If you’re looking to change up your typical dessert routine, we created 13 unique cupcake designs. These designs are simple and easy to whip up yourself. We also used common ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen pantry. For the buttercream frosting, you can use whichever recipe you prefer. To save time, you can also work with pre-frosted cupcakes!

If you’re curious about which ingredients we used in each design, you can check out the bulleted lists below. For easy assembly and instructions, you can watch our video above for a step-by-step guide!
