Did you know that the 14th of June is Cupcake Day? Well, it’s not like we need a special day to enjoy these delightful little treats, so it’s okay if you were unaware!

Cupcakes aren’t just a treat for your palate – they’re also a sight for sore eyes! All that fluffy, airy frosting, topped with colorful sprinkles or fruit – just thinking about it is making my mouth water! 

It’s no wonder then that cupcakes are such a hit with the kids, and a must have at kids’ parties. So today, we’re going to take a break from all the sugar, but still enjoy our favorite treat – by making cute cupcake crafts! These crafts are super easy to make and perfect for the young crowd, so bring out your supplies and get crafting!
