Summer Cupcake Recipes

Cupcakes are the ultimate party treat — they are cute, portable, and delicious! I’m sharing my favorite Summer cupcake recipes from my site and around the web — if these won’t get you through August, nothing will.

If you’ve read this site for any length of time, you know that while I love all desserts, cupcakes are where my heart is. They are portable, covered in frosting, easy to decorate, and can come in any flavor.

To celebrate Summer, I’m sharing my favorite cupcake recipes from this site and around the web — there are tons of good ones. You definitely want to bookmark some of these for your next cook-out or birthday party!
