Banana Split Cupcakes

Summertime might still be far away, but ice cream dreams come in the form of cupcakes this time of year. The banana split cupcake can go down in a couple of different ways. Afterall, there are plenty of components that make up the beloved frozen treat: bananas, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pineapple, peanuts, and, of course, whipped cream with a cherry on top. 

These cupcakes feature a banana cake, topped with strawberry buttercream and all the fixings (minus the cherry)!

DIY cupcake party ideas

When it comes to cupcakes and parties, it's a trusted LP theory that the more choices people have, the happier the party is!

Need a little guidance? 

Make a batch of chocolate and a batch of vanilla cupcakes, and mix the frostings. Rim the sides with different sprinkles, crunched cookies, cereal or candy. Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Krispies would be an awesome cupcake addition!

Cake Pop Lovin'

Behold the ever so popular cake pop. 

Something super easy to make is a beautiful addition to your dessert table. The trick with these babies is that you mix your left over cake scraps with frosting. Roll them up and throw them in the freezer with a lollipop stick. Once they harden, dip them in melting chocolate. Get a little fancy with stripes or roll them in standing sugar. 

We're loving the pink bows these cake pops snapped from a recent bridal show. #Pinkalicious!
