41 Cupcake Coloring Pages

Cupcakes got their name in the 1800s, possibly because the batter was measured by the cup or baked in small cups. Today they are a staple of birthday parties and bake sales, and this collection shows off many flavors and presentations. There are chocolate and blueberry cupcakes, a birthday cupcake, and cupcakes topped with a berry, a bow, a candle, a cherry or a heart. Others sit beside a fork, a spoon, a glass of milk, a macaron or a scoop of ice cream, and some are packed in a box or stacked into a tower. Kids can design their own frosting colors: swirl pink and white, mix two pastels, or go all chocolate. Paper liners are a nice place to practice stripes or polka dots. The cupcake tower makes a fun party centerpiece if you cut it out and tape it to a box. For birthday parties, set out the pages with crayons so guests can color while they wait for cake. Single cupcakes are great for toddlers, and the tower and macaron pages suit older kids.
