Army camo cupcakes are a fun way to celebrate those serving our country in the military. Perfect for any military themed party, these cupcakes are easy to make and taste delicious!
These cupcakes are an easy dessert for an army birthday party, an army themed baby shower or a welcome home party for someone serving in the military.
Easy Camo Cupcakes
We made some Red, White and Blue Cupcakes for 4th of July one year that my kids LOVED. They are easy to put together and result in a fun, swirly, colorful cupcake. I used the same technique to make Camo Cupcakes for Ethan’s Army party. (He thought I was pretty much the coolest mom ever!) Do you want to win your own “Mom of the Year” Award? You’ve come to the right place!
Items Used To Make Army Cupcakes
- Multiple cupcake baking tins
- A small bottle of green food coloring
- Adorable army cupcake liners
Decorating Your Army Camo Cupcakes
You can leave these cupcakes as-is, or decorate them with some frosting and toppings. (Those small, green, plastic army men toys, look darling! … I mean, “tough!”) You can use my favorite cream cheese frosting and add green food coloring to it or you can just buy some frosting from the store.

So fun! Thanks for sharing your recipe with SYC.

Thanks for another excellent post.
This is perfect for a party. I can’t agree more. I just want to take it off my screen and taste it. Looks so tasty
Anyway that I could use this recipe but instead of making cupcakes, do a 9X13 sheet cake?
I would think you could use the same method, but you will need to make sure you use only half the batter of each box of cake mix, unless you plan to make 2 cakes. Good luck!
These turned out so super cute! They look like something that my boys would have LOVED when they were little.
Thanks Stephanie!
So this idea totally saved me!! So simple!! I am having a military themed baby shower and the girl who was making the cupcakes couldn’t do it for me! This is amazing!
I’m going to make these for my son’s birthday. I was just wondering how many cupcakes you got from this recipe. They look so cute!!
I can’t remember exactly how many cupcakes I got, but it was just about true to the recipe on the box- if each box says you will get 24 cupcakes, I got 48 total from using 2 boxes. Hope that helps!
These are a great idea! I wanted to let you know they are one of my featured posts on my blog today, come check it out!! http://cupsbykim.blogspot.com/2012/03/sweet-simple-sunday-1.html
Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome idea! And totally doable for a not-so-patient baker like me. ; )
These are awesome!!!! Perfect for a boy’s party! Love this idea, I’ll have to remember it! I always seem to have a much harder time coming up with “cute” ideas for boy’s parties!
Wow, what a great idea! I’m destined to have boys when we have kids so I’ll definitely have to pin this so I remember!
what a great idea! I have a friend who is throwing a welcome home party for her brother who is in the military… these would be perfect!
