Here in New York, it is the last full week of school finally! Seriously, while all my friends from the south and west have been out for school for weeks, we have had a crazy June with all the end of the year school stuff for both my girls.
[Tweet “Looking for a fun summer themed cupcake treat for summer snacking with your kiddos. Then check out my butterfly ones now!”]
So, much so that I lamented this past Monday morning that as much as the kids were ready for summer vacation, I am even more so. I am done with all the school fanfare, including school lunch/snack preparations, packing backpacks with each day’s needs and homework, too! Ugh, that “H” word is the bane of my existence. You would think as an ex-middle school math teacher; I would be all about the homework. But you’d be wrong as I loathe and despise it more than you know.
That said, I am finally preparing for summer vacation and summer snacks because summer means kids want meals here always. Those who follow my blog know my girls love cupcakes.
So, while I have a few go-to cupcake recipes for this summer, I decided to make a new cupcake treat to celebrate all things summer, outdoors and just plain fun.
That is where my Butterfly Cupcakes come into play. I used premade Funfetti Cupcakes because my girls love these cupcakes the best. I frosted them with vanilla icing.
And then for the fun part, where I added fruit slices, gummy worms, and brown jimmies, too!
See how simple that was, and now we have beautifully decorated Butterfly Cupcakes for summer vacation treats fun.
Want to make them, too?
Then, read on below for my easy step-by-step recipe tutorial now.

Those look so yummmmmy! Oh, I love the sugar and frosting and moist cake mix… You know what I want? I want to come up with a really good vegan version. I’m not vegan per se, but I do try to eat well (though a good cupcake is hard to resist, let me tell you and if I’m ever at your house, well, I might need to help myself, hahaha) and would love to find a great recipe that tastes as good as the regular stuff. I don’t even know if that’s possible. In the meantime, I know you make the best cupcakes ever! I have some internet for the moment as I’m with family now, but headed off to go do some more visiting. I just wanted to hop by and say hi! π
Janine says
Aw, loved seeing you stop in a bit today. hoping you are having the best time with your family. Oh and if you ever visit here, I would love to make you, cupcakes, too!!! Have a wonderful rest of the week and hugs!! xoxo <3

They are too adorable for words. Scarlet got a butterfly garden and even pre-butterflies two years ago for her birthday, and it became a hobby!
Janine says
Aw, love that it became a hobby for Scarlet and seriously too cute!! π
