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.

Graduation Cap Cupcake Recipe! Perfect for Preschool and Kindergarten Graduations or 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.

Celebrate Kindergarten or Preschool Graduation with These Sweet Graduation Cap Cupcakes!

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.
