Summer is almost here and I am so ready for outdoor parties, family barbecues and the beach! With all of these fun summer activities comes great summer food. My go-to's are always hamburgers, pies, kabobs and summer fruits. Of course cupcakes are always at the top of my list, so I thought I'd round up a few of really creative cupcakes that look like some of my favorite summer foods. Why not get the best of both in a cupcake?!

Whether you are a kid or and adult, ice cream sundaes are the easiest (and sweetest) way to cool off during the summer. This cupcake from Bakerella is made with a chocolate ganache topping to look just like chocolate syrup!

From ballparks to barbecues, everyone loves a good hot dogs during the summer months. I love the checkered tablecloth and overall picnic feeling of this hot dog cupcake! It's almost too cute to eat!

What is better than cupcake and booze? This mojito cupcake from VeganYumYum has got lots of minty lime flavor with a little kick of rum!

Watermelon is a summer party staple. Bakingdom whipped up these cute cupcake replicas that have little chocolate chips in the middle to look like seeds!

It's not summer without a burger at a party, but who says you can't eat them for dessert? You can easily stack layers of cake with different colored frosting to recreate this hamburger cupcake.

Whether you are outside at a carnival or enjoying a block party, you can always count on one of these to cool you off! These snow cone cupcakes are easy to make and look just like the real thing.

These BBQ cupcakes from FamilyFun.Go look like the real deal. The cute kabobs, steak and hot dogs are all made from candy, but it looks like you might need a lot of patience to assemble all of these fun cupcake toppings!

Topped with real fruit and a red wine buttercream, these Sangria cupcakes from Hoosier Homemade are a fun way to consume one of my favorite summer drinks in cupcake form. 

These berry pie cupcakes are as close to the real thing as you are going to get! Funambulist Damsel used M&Ms and frosting to get the look of a real summer pie.

These cupcakes became really popular to make after the book Hello, Cupcake! came out. The well-known trick to these corn-on-the-cob cupcakes? Jelly beans!
