This summer is going to be so fun with great movies and one of the ones I am looking forward to is Ant-Man and the Wasp! Where was Scott during the events of Infinity War? Why wasn’t he out there helping? So many questions. So now we get to find them out! ANTMAN AND THE WASP arrives in theatres everywhere on July 6th! And in honor of that, I wanted to share these delicious Ant-Man and the Wasp inspired Cupcakes.  I love Marvel themed recipes.

  1. These look super fun although I don’t use food coloring in my cooking or baking. Wonder if there are natural alternatives to achieve the same colors?

  2. (Ant-Man and the Wasp inspired Cupcakes) These cute cupcakes would be so much fun to make this fall with my five year old grandson. I know that I like having cupcakes with just a smidgen of ice-cream. 🙂
