I love this Ladybug Cupcake that looks like it is about to take off. The wings are made with a Chocolate Wafer Cookie broken in half with some red Icing dots. The head of this Ladybug is made using a black gumdrop along with some black licorice antennae. And of course the cupcake is frosted Red.

I really like this take on Ladybug Cupcakes with the Ladybugs made using Mallomars. Mallomars are those chocolate covered marshmallow treats. Then they are frosted with red frosting and dipped into red sugar. The face and line down the back is done with chocolate frosting with M&M spots. So cute !!

Ok so these are Ladybug Cupcakes that I created. The Ladybug is created from a Strawberry with mini chocolate chip spots and a gumdrop head. The Ladybug is then sitting on a flower - do you love those or what? These are super EASY to make and everyone loved them.

Who says Ladybug Cupcakes have to be done in the traditional Red & Black? I love Martha Stewart's take on the cupcakes in all these fun colors. The Ladybugs are created by simply cutting the top of the cupcake and slicing it in 1/2. They added different colored gum drop heads with licorice antennae and frosted the cupcakes in fun pastel colors. Adorable !!

As you can see by the Ladybug Cupcake ideas I shared above anyone can create them. Just chose the method you like the best or combine them to create your own edible masterpieces.

You can also make your Ladybugs any color you want - change up your frosting colors or bring in lots of colored candies for the spots. I always say the limit is your imagination.

Another fun thing you can do for your Ladybug Cupcakes is create Fondant Laybugs. No need to panic if you have never used Fondant before - it is not as hard as you think.

These would look adorable on top of your cupcake. Take a look at the video tutorials I have to the right - they walk you through it step by step. It could not be any easier.
