‘Grill’ cupcakes are quite possibly the cutest things we’ve ever seen

Frugal Mom Eh!

Whether you consider yourself a baker or merely love to devour the result of someone else’s baking efforts, your day will be a little sweeter having seen these adorable “grill” cupcakes. Can you imagine a cuter dessert to bring to your next barbecue?

These cupcakes feature chocolate cake (“the charcoal”) topped with red and orange frosting (“the flames”) with a royal icing “grill” and gummy bear “shish kabob” on top. The whole thing is dollhouse-precious with the added benefit of being totally edible — and delicious!

Who thinks of these things, you ask? In this case, it’s a Canadian mom blogger named Elizabeth who is the clever mind behind the blog Frugal Mom Eh! These little “whimsical dessert” creations that she dreamed up are really more like works of art, sure to impress at any summertime soirée or backyard BBQ.

While baking the cupcakes is simple enough, the frosting part requires a little bit of artistry, as you halfway fill a pastry bag with red-colored frosting and add some orange-colored frosting, and then pipe the two colors together to get that fiery red-orange effect.

The round little “grills” also call for some detailed creative work, and then the gummy bear “kabobs” provide the fun finishing touches.

If you’re looking for more recipe inspiration, there are plenty of other summery cupcakes and treats to try out this season.

These s’mores cupcakes from OMG Chocolate Desserts are decadent and delicious, and the nostalgic flavor combination will bring you right back to summers spent swimming in a lake by day and roasting marshmallows by campfire by night.

And if you’re actually gathering around the fire pit this summer to make s’mores, you can always try out some fun variations on the classic chocolate-marshmallow-graham cracker combination by adding strawberries, bananas or even Reese’s peanut butter cups.

Enjoy your summertime sweets!
