Homemade birthday cakes and cupcakes are rare these days, which means that if you do go to the trouble of making them yourself, they are appreciated that much more. This collection of kids birthday cupcakes includes basic recipes for chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and red velvet cupcakes, plus fun ways to decorate cupcakes, including these adorable pool party cupcakes, my fun soccer cupcakes (which also make a great end-of-the-season treat for soccer parties) and the always-popular ice cream cone cupcakes, which look like ice cream cones, but are actually cupcakes baked into ice cream cones and frosted to look like soft serve ice cream. Fun, huh?
