Lawn Mower Cupcakes

I thought these adorable lawn mower cupcakes are a cute idea to wish your favorite dad a happy father’s day. The kiddo and I made these a few years ago, sorry I don’t remember what magazine I found the idea.

These are so sweet I just had to pull them from the archives. See for yourself. Totally easy to make. If you do this, take pictures and send them to me
