These adorable and easy Horse Cupcakes are perfect for Kentucky Derby parties, barnyard kid birthday parties, or any celebration for a horse lover!
Alright people, how adorable are these? Horses are up there with birds on my list of animals I kind of, sort of wish were extinct (they freak me out!), but I can’t deny how cute the Nutter Butter version is.
While I may not be much of a horse fan (slash, they scare me with their gigantic creepiness), my boss loves them and last week was her birthday! She recently got to meet California Chrome, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner.
CC is from a little, middle-of-nowhere town about 45 minutes from where we live. A couple weeks ago he was “home” for some R&R and she got to go meet him. When her birthday rolled around the next week, I thought it would be fun to incorporate horses into her cupcakes!
I can’t take much credit for this idea… I Googled “horse cupcakes” and chose the cutest and easiest ones I found! Check out the original post on horse-themed cupacakes. They’re really easy and were a lot more successful than I expected them to be!
All you need is frosted cupcakes, Nutter Butters, cashews, black icing and candy eyes. You can buy the candy eyes year round on Amazon, or check your grocery store or craft store during Halloween season!
I cheated and used a box of cake mix and premade frosting, but the horses were a huge hit and everyone loved the cupcakes. These couldn’t have been easier.
These Nutter Butter Horse Cupcakes would be perfect for Kentucky Derby parties. Or if you have a little one who wants a farm or barnyard-themed birthday party. They are easy and oh so cute.
And if you do happen to host a farm-themed birthday party, be sure to check out these cute Black and White Cheesecake Bars that look just like a cow!
These are so cute. I don’t mind horses though they make me a bit nervous. But I am so with you on the birds.
Adorable! Food tastes even better when it’s cute food. I especially love the little ears. And I’m really curious why you don’t like horses. They’re just like big dogs.
They’re just too big and strong with tiny brains… I don’t trust them! But to be honest… I don’t necessarily trust all big dogs that I don’t know either!
Ha! They are soooo cute! Bet your boss was over the moon about these 🙂
These are the cutest cupcakes ever, Jess! I love the nutter butter on top. Looks like the perfect cupcake! And I’m sure you’re boss loved them, too!
When I first read the title of this recipe I was wondering what it could possibly be, but these horse cupcakes are absolutely adorable!! I love the little peanut ears! I need to make these soon!!!
These are the cutest cupcakes I have ever seen! My daughter would just love them:)
These are so adorable!
These are ADORBS! You must really like your boss to make her some horse cupcakes 🙂
