• Lynsey Macdonald
We don't know about you, but we can't get enough of the stylish summer cupcakes we've been seeing lately! For baking pros and newbies alike, the options are endless. Will you go down a tropical route? Or are pretty pastels more your vibe?
For the ultimate inspiration, we've rounded up a few of our favourites. From piping techniques to cute finishing touches, here are five ways to channel that summer vibe...
Add a Cute Topper or Candle
Whether you're a beginner looking to start simple, or a pro short on time, a cute candle can save the day! The amazing @bake.works finished off these vibrant cupcakes with a summery pop. These Bamboo and Flamingo themed candles from Make a Wish are a beautiful and easy finishing touch. Not to mention a sweet little keepsake from the event you've baked for!
Finish with Summer Sprinkles
We all love a colourful sprinkle! The amazing @yoras.cakes took these incredible neon cupcakes to the next level with some ultra-summery details. The Happy Sprinkles range is a baker's best friend. From cute, themed blends to neon monochrome, there's a sprinkle for any stylish summer cupcakes you have in mind.
Get Creative with Chocolate Moulds
The only thing better than a cupcake is a cupcake with a candy or chocolate topper! The lovely @flourandfold transported us to a desert island with this cute succulent theme. Created using the handy silicone mould from Wilton, this is a really easy way to make your summer cupcakes stand out from the crowd!
Let the Colour do the Talking!
Sometimes less is more! These stunning cupcakes from @lucyyoungcakes show just what happens when you focus on a bold colour palette. Pipe two shades together to create an ombre effect and finish off with a simple metallic sprinkle. And with pastels and neons both perfect for summer, the opportunities are endless! Lucy used colours from the amazing Colour Mill range on this cupcake!

Perfect your Piping Skills!
Looking to level up your piping game? We don't blame you! These stylish summer cupcakes from @jkbakes_ are the ultimate pastel inspo! Use several different shaped piping nozzles (Wilton have countless to choose from) to create this look. Mix it up from cupcake to cupcake for an eye-catching selection!
Here's the talented @queenoftarts.patisserie's tropical take on this trend!
