Easy Graduation Cap Cupcakes

Graduation cap cupcakes are such a sweet way to celebrate a graduation!

Make them for preschool or kindergarten graduation or even at a high school graduation party.

I first made these on the blog a couple years ago when my oldest was graduating from kindergarten and now it’s my son’s turn for kindergarten graduation! I thought I’d share some updated photos since this is such a fun idea.

Graduation Cap Cupcakes

• cupcakes or muffins without liners
• chocolate frosting
• graham crackers
• licorice whips
• M&Ms

Make or purchase cupcakes or muffins to use as the base for the cap. Then add graham crackers, a little bit of chocolate frosting, licorice whips, and M&Ms.

They are super simple to make.  All you do is use the frosting to “glue” the graham cracker to an upside down cupcake and then a little more frosting to “glue” the M&M and licorice tassel on top.  You can even make muffins instead of cupcakes to make them a little healthier.

These cupcakes are fun to make for big kids too!  My mom even made them again for me when I got my Master’s in reading.  A cute way to celebrate a fun milestone.
