Today I’m going to show you how to make the CUTEST Cookout Cupcakes! This tutorial is so simple, and would make any cookout even more festive and fun! These sweet cupcake toppers are simple enough for little ones to make too. Okay, so who wants to invite me to a cookout? I’m ready!
Here’s what we did:
First, I knew that I wanted to have a checked pattern somewhere (besides on my apron)– so I decided to do a little painting….
Next–BURGERS!
You can’t have a cookout without hot dogs…..
Did I mention that I love Mini Vanilla Wafers?
I’ll take mine with mustard and ketchup please….
If you don’t like fondant…this one is for you!
Ahhhhh……..
Group Shot!
**Four our cupcakes, we used our delicious Classic Vanilla Buttercream. Don’t miss our full collection of tried and true cake, cupcake, and frosting recipes in our Recipes Section! These are our FAVORITES!

I can’t wait to make these!!!! Perfect for the fourth of July BBQ! And super cute with the yummy nilla wafers!
Adorable! Love the checkered tablecloths!
I am so glad I couldn’t sleep. I can’t wait to make these!
These are so awesome, they look so real. Perfect. However, I’m in the UK and never heard of these wafers. Is there anything else I can substitute with? I soooo want to make these and fool the kiddos, hehe.
Thanks for sharing, Melissa.
Hi Lisa, you could use a small sugar cookie, preferably one that is light brown in color to look like a hamburger bun. The mini vanilla wafers we used are very small, maybe only 1 inch across (I don’t have one here to measure). You could use a cookie cutter to cut a regular sized cookie into smaller circles. We have had success doing this for other projects. Even if yours are bigger than the ones we made they would still be very cute toppers. Good Luck.
I love these! My husband has concession trailers in which we serve hamburgers & hot dogs. I can’t wait to surprise him with these cupcakes
