Quick and easy Fishing Cupcakes for fishermen big and small!
Two years ago we took the boys to a Greenwing fishing derby for kids and the boys were instantly hooked! (see what I did there? lol) Since then they ask frequently for the chance to go fishing and love it every time.
With my boys birthdays close together and them both sharing a love for fishing I kept things simple for me and made these adorable but super easy fishing cupcakes in one batch and used them for both of their birthday parties this year.
Fishing Cupcakes
To make these fish cupcakes, you’ll need:
Cupcakes, any flavour
Buttercream icing
Blue food colouring
Pretzel stick
Gummy fish
Frosting Spatula (optional)
Piping bag with Writing tip
Directions
Reserve some of the white buttercream icing for the fishing line and tint the rest of the buttercream a light blue colour.
Spread or pipe the icing onto the cupcakes, covering the tops.
Depending on the size of your pretzels, you will likely need to break them into a shortened length for the fishing rod.
Pipe on a fishing line using the white icing.
Place a gummy fish on the end of the line.
The cupcakes were a big hit with the kids, especially the gummy fish, of course! The best part is they are really easy to put together!
While these are perfect for a little boys birthday party, they are great for anyone who loves to fish or even summer barbecues and potlucks!
If you are hosting a fishing themed birthday party and were thinking of serving cake rather than cupcakes, I also made this Fishing Cake for my youngest son’s birthday at home.
When we are at home I like to do a cake but when we are doing the party with lots of kids at a venue, I find it much easier to serve cupcakes since they are easier to just hand out and I don’t have to worry about bringing a knife to cut the cake and forks for eating. Either way, I’ve got you covered when it comes to simple fishing cakes and cupcakes!
