When looking for Father’s Day Cake Designs, I only had two words that had to match the criteria – cute and easy. These easy Father’s day cake images are perfect for the kids to join in with simple cake recipes. Enjoy Father’s Day cupcakes, cakes, donuts, and even cake pop ideas!

Father’s Day Cake Designs

Does it every surprise you how early in the season ads began to show? Because of one simple Google search and suddenly I am flooded with father’s day cake advertisements. Little does Google realize (or do they) that my search of fathers day cake images is only because I fully plan to make my own easy and simple Father’s Day Cake Design. I bet if you have an amazing dad (or world’s okay-est dad), you too are on the hunt for Fathers Day Cake Ideas.

How can I make my dad’s Father’s Day special?

I ask myself this question every June. Truthfully our family does not go all out on every special occasion, but a boxed cake mix does always end up un my grocery shopping cart and we come home and act like we are on The Great British Bake Off. Our family is so competitive about our cake designs, that I have to rotate who is in charge of the cake each occasion. Luckily there are 7 of us and between 7 birthdays and too many holidays to count, there are many occasions for being crowned as “the best baker!”

If you too are asking what should I do for Father’s Day, pause here. Set the table, pull out some paper plates, and fill dad’s sweet tooth with some delight. These Happy Father’s Day Cake Ideas are that challenging. Best of all, most of them can be adapted to dad’s favorite flavor – chocolate, vanilla, carrot, hummingbird, yellow or our pop’s favorite – funfetti!

More Father’s Day Ideas

We have loads of Father’s day Ideas. Looking for the what can I get dad for Father’s Day, enjoy these posts before you get baking…

Father’s Day Cakes

Get ready to be blown away with these Happy Father’s Day cake designs!

This is a cute Father’s Day Cake design for those dads that like the great outdoors. I know my husband would take a campfire every night, as well as a chocolate cake. Follow this Campfire Cake tutorial on Hallmark (of all places!)

This Father’s Day cake topper is made from from Twizzlers and Bamboo Skewers. Isn’t that so fun (and easy?) Grab a box cake, tub of white icing and a bag of Twizzlers for this easy Father’s Day Cake idea from Oh Happy Day. If you are asking, “what can I do for Father’s Day with no money?” I bet you can find many of these items in your pantry or pick up everything for under $10.

For a bigger challenge, learn how to make father’s day cake with a check pattern. This Lumberjack Cake, from Jenny Cookies, creates a Buffalo plaid center using a Wilton Round Checkerboard Cake Pan Set. That means this checkerboard cake is as easy to make as boxed cake mix and some food coloring.

Does dad love Root Beer? If your dad would enjoy a “less sweet” cake, try this Father’s Day Bundt Cake Recipe from Father and Us.

How cute is this funny fathers day cake? It’s much easier thank you think. Eat a juicy burger for dinner and then recreate this Cheeseburger Cake for dessert – your theme “Dad is the cheese to your burger!” Read more from A Mix of Mediums.

If you want a funny Father’s day idea, look at this fathers day cake with photo. We shared these cupcake toppers in our Surprise Party Ideas, but they also would be really adorable for happy birthday dad cake designs that fall on or near father’s day or leave off the age and just make cute Father’s day hats. Pick up these affordable photo cupcake toppers or make your own.

Okay seriously, how cute are these Lawn Mower Cupcakes from The Celebration Shoppe. Our daddy-o would love them, especially if he was given the day off from the lawn. Have an older son, throw him out doors to mow while dad sits on the couch!

Speaking of sitting on the couch, who wouldn’t love to also snack on these Corona & Blue Moon Cupcakes for Father’s Day from Erica’s Sweet Tooth. We especially think Corona is nicely fitting after the past year(s) we’ve had.

I mustache you a question. Are you enjoying these fathers day cake decorating ideas? We have more. Recreate our Mustache Cupcakes using a mustache template. We think dad will love it! make sure you put one on your upper lip when you cutely express “Happy father’s day!” to dad.

I mean if you haven’t added bacon ot a cupcake, have you even lived? If you love mixed tastes like salty and sweet, give this Maple Syrup Bacon Cupcakes a try for Father’s Day. From none other than the amazing bakers at Wilton (so it has to be good, right?)

Father’s Day Cake Pops

Happy fathers day cake images are incredibly inspiring, but have you tried a bucket of peanuts? Take dad out to the ball game with these baseball cake pops from Daisy Brand. You read that right, these cake pops have Daisy Sour Cream inside.

Any Tee-rrific dads out there? Make these really cute Golf Tee Cake Pops for dad from Evermine. We bet this is a hole in one Father’s Day dessert for one (or two, three or more!)

Father’s Day Donuts

One of our favorite fathers day cake decorating ideas is this Hole in One Donut Recipe. Yes, we know it isn’t a cake, but put it on top of a cake or skip the donut recipe and just create a boxed cake mix following the same gold design directions. Don’t forget to add this Donuts for Dad Invitation!

I was really surprised how easy this Father’s Day Donuts recipe is. Using Alphabet Cookie Cutters and Pillsbury Grands, recreate it yourself by following the directions on A Pretty Cool Life. Place them on top of a cake for a fun father cake design.

When it comes to camping meals, you want to keep things relatively simple — but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor! It’s a must to plan your meals ahead and only take the ingredients that you know you will need. Prep your ingredients in portioned bags or containers before you stock your cooler and hit the road. Some of the best ingredients for easy camping meals are sausage, veggies, chips, cheese, and eggs. You really can’t go wrong with these! If you’re staying for a few days, consider taking some non-perishable items like canned foods.

Summertime Popsicle Recipes – Cool Off Your Hot Days!

Summertime Popsicle Recipes – Cool Off Your Hot Days with these ice pop recipes.

Summertime Popsicle Recipes

Who doesn’t love an ice-cold popsicle on a hot summer’s day? When the temperature spikes in the middle of summer, everyone is searching for ways to cool off. Our usual method is to visit the beach or the pool to take a dip. Whatever it may be in your home, I am sure it is paired with a refreshing summer snack. And one of the best refreshing summer treats on a hot day are popsicles!

We are so excited to share these Summertime Popsicle Recipes with you. Not only are there yummy recipes for the kids, but we snuck in some adult only treats you will be sure to make over and over. Whether you are looking for homemade popsicles for kids or DIY popsicles for the grownups, you’ll keep coming back to these recipes all summer long. Take a look at these DIY Popsicle Recipes with Fruit, Spirits, Chocolate and more – and be sure to let us know your favorites!

How do you make DIY popsicles creamy instead of icy?

Icy popsicles can work if they are a fruit variety. But if you are making chocolate or any other cream-based popsicles, you will want to have a smooth texture, not an icy one. A tip I saw online is to add a tablespoon of cornstarch to your DIY popsicles before pouring the mixture into your molds! If anyone tries this, I’d love to know how it works for you. It sounds like a great little hack to make sure your creamy popsicle texture stays on point!

What can you make you DIY popsicles in?

You might think that you need molds specifically designed for popsicles in order to make your own at home, but that actually isn’t the case! Of course, a popsicle mold would be the easiest way, and you can always grab some inexpensive ones off of Amazon or at the Dollar Tree if you would prefer. But if you are in a pinch, you can easily use these household items in place of a mold!

Plastic or paper cups
Ice cube trays
Clean, recycled yogurt containers
Any small baking tins, like muffin tins

If you don’t have popsicle sticks to use, a sturdy straw, plastic spoon, or plastic knife would work as well. We do recommend popsicle sticks though, as they are relatively easy to find, super inexpensive, and they have the name “popsicle sticks” for a reason — they are made for the job!

Since they are so simple, the kids can help you make these cupcakes to honor their dad. They will have so much fun frosting and decorating the treats, and they will feel super proud knowing they helped make a special dessert for dad.

What occasions can you make these fishing cupcakes for?

These fishing cupcakes are perfect for Father’s Day for the dads who love to fish, a beach or lake party, or for any occasion that celebrates the fishing fanatic in your life! You could even make them under the sea themed cupcakes by adding more fish and taking away the fishing rod.

Fishing You a Happy Father’s Day

Hooked on Daddy

Ingredients*:

*Yields 8 cupcakes, multiple as needed.

Directions:

Frost cupcakes with the blue frosting with a smooth layer. Using a knife or offset spatula, touch the frosted cupcake and gently pull up so it creates a little peak to look like a water wave. Do this all over the top of each cupcake.
Melt the candy melts per package directions and dip each gum ball until half covered. Shake off any excess and set the bobbers white side up on top of each cupcake. Put a red hot on the white chocolate on top of each bobber and let these set about 15 minutes so the chocolate hardens.
Take a half piece of licorice and tie the end on to the end of a pretzel stick. Press the other end of the pretzel into the cupcake so it sticks up in the air and the licorice hangs down like fishing line. Trim the licorice if it is too long. Repeat this for each cupcake.
Place a fish on each cupcake right in front of the licorice fishing line.
These very cute cupcakes would be great for a little fisherman’s party!

What better way to celebrate America’s independence than with a red, white, and blue spread! These Red, White and Blue Foods on Frugal Coupon Living are perfect for chowing down on under the fireworks this July 4th. From red, white and blue desserts, to colorful 4th of July drinks, and everything in between, save these recipes for your July 4th festivities this year!

Red, White & Blue Foods

I am a big fan of Patriotism. When I see documentaries on the founding of our country and the freedom our founders pursued, it seriously brings tears to my eyes. There’s just really nothing more inspiring than what they were fighting for. I know that myself and many others take these freedoms for granted these days, and the fourth of July holiday helps us gain perspective of our blessings every year. July 4th (and other American Holidays) remind me of the sacrifices that the founding fathers made for us, and really makes me want to celebrate!

For Memorial Day, July 4th and other red, white and blue occasions, I think it’s only right to celebrate with festive foods in those special colors! From red, white and blue desserts, to fresh fruit salads, to other tasty recipes for the 4th of July, I challenge you to make your entire Independence Day table red, white and blue!

What are the best red, white and blue foods for the 4th of July?

I think you will notice a theme among many of these 4th of July recipes — lots of them use red, white and blue fruits and vegetables, while a few of them rely on food coloring to fit in with the festive color palette. If you’re going the healthy route, opt for the 4th of July recipes with those fresh ingredients. On the other hand, if you’re searching for red, white and blue desserts, you will want to stock up on red and blue food coloring and other baking supplies.

Whether you want to keep things relatively simple with a fruit salad or go all out with a summer berry tart, consider this your one stop shop for all of your red, white and blue recipe inspiration. Delicious, festive, and easy to make, everyone will go wild for these recipes!

From 4th of July appetizers to 4th of July cake and cupcakes, these festive recipes will be a hit. Also great for Memorial Day, too!

Fourth of July Recipes

Ready for July 4th, Memorial Day, or even Labor Day? One of my favorite traditions during the 4th of July is grilling, cooking, and of course eating all of the tasty food! Whether you are going on a picnic, celebrating at home, or meeting up with some friends, don’t go about your plans empty handed. Scroll through these recipes for the 4th of July and recreate some of these creative and tasty red, white and blue Fourth of July recipes. From tasty cheese boards for the adults to food crafts for kids, there is something for everyone. You can never be too prepared with these 4th of July snacks, cupcakes, and appetizer inspiration! More used to having the traditional grilled options on the 4th of July? We also included a twist on your favorite Independence Day recipes like a classic hamburger and hot dog!

What is a traditional 4th of July meal?

Most Americans enjoy grilled meals on the 4th of July, including hamburgers and hot dogs. These are often accompanied by sides like potato salad, corn on the cob, and more. The great thing about the 4th of July is that there is no “official” meal, so you can experiment with new recipes and ideas year after year!

What is not usually served at a July 4th cookout?

Since July weather is hot, it’s best to avoid hot beverages while you’re celebrating Independence Day. It’s also not typically the time to serve something fancy. In our house, we usually celebrate outside with the kids running around and games being played, so food that’s easy to serve up and eat is always the best option.

Mason jars look adorable, simple, and clean, not to mention they look fantastic in a photo. You can make these mason jar recipes ahead of time and store them in the fridge. If you are prepping them for a party, this is a great way to plan ahead so you’re not rushing to prepare food the day of the event! They look fancy enough for the ‘gram, and you’ll save money by making the meals yourself rather than buying from somewhere else.

How long do meals in a jar keep in the fridge?

It really depends on the ingredients you use. If your mason jar salad or meal has meat in it, it will last 3-4 days in your refrigerator. As for vegetarian mason jar meals, they should safely keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. Make sure you tighten the lid so that your meals in a jar stay as fresh as possible. You could make a batch on Sunday and eat them throughout the weekdays. Meal prep is a fantastic time and money saver!

The best mason jar meals follow a basic guideline — keep the sauces, dressings, and heavier ingredients at the bottom, and keep the lighter, drier ingredients towards the top. This prevents more delicate ingredients like greens from getting weighed down with dressing and sauces so that everything stays as fresh as when you assembled it. When you are ready to eat, simply shake up the ingredients until well combined and you are good to go!

Make these adorable jalapeño poppers for the best hauntingly delicious treats to please every guest at your October party, or simply make them for your family to get in the Halloween spirits. Enjoy!

Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies

We get so excited over the start of school and Halloween on the horizon! I get just as excited as the kids do over Halloween. From the costumes, to candy, to festive decorations, October signifies tons of fun to come! Our Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs were a huge hit on the blog, and these Halloween Jalapeño Mummies are sure to be a crowd pleaser as well.

HALLOWEEN JALAPEÑO POPPER RECIPE

For this Halloween Recipe, you will need edible eyes among other ingredients. We used two eyes of the same shape, but we also think it would be cute to add additional candy eyes of various sizes! Isn’t a mummy supposed to look a little wonky?

The best part of this recipe for Halloween is that the kids can get involved, but when you’ve all chowed down to your heart’s content, they haven’t eaten a sugary snack that will hype them up. Instead, everyone gets a savory bite for Halloween night! (You are supposed to say that aloud while you’re reading. We rhymed just like Dr Seuss!)

Need more tasty recipes for your Halloween party? Try this Poison Apple Dip and adorable food craft for your Halloween Tablescape. For a healthy bite on the holiday, make these Fruit Cup Jack-o-Lanterns. If you don’t want to carve the face, just use a sharpie marker!

Of course, you’ll need a sweet and spooky treat to go along with the savory menu items. You can find the perfect dessert in our 31+ Days of Kid’s Halloween Food Crafts! Which is your favorite?

Don’t get spooked. The ingredients that go into these Stuffed Jalapeño Popper Mummies can easily be found at your local grocery store!

STUFFED JALAPEÑO POPPER MUMMIES INGREDIENTS

Between the Jalapeño Peppers and the Pepper Jack Cheese, this recipe can have a kick! To cool things down for the kids and those sensitive to spice, be sure to remove the seeds and membranes from your jalapeños before cooking!

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.
