Father's day cupcakes!

The boys and I decided to make cupcakes for the hubby for father's day!  We got this adorable idea from http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/grate-gift-for-dad-888883/ to make these grill ones!  We started out with chocolate cupcakes with just a teensy bit of frosting.  We sprinkled a touch of orange sugar to them which I made by adding food coloring to a sandwich bag of sugar and shaking it till it was a color I liked.

My son Aaron added grill marks to the hot tamales to make the "hot dogs"

Nicky cut up fruit slices and caramel squares to make the skewers.  He poked toothpics through them.

I added the grates with some black icing.

and viola!  the cutest grill cupcakes ever!  Too much work?  You can always make regular cuppies and add these cute toppers: https://www.etsy.com/listing/101473176/diy-printable-fathers-day-cupcake
