Chalkboard Back-to-School Cupcakes are as fun to make as they are to eat and a great way to start the new school year. They’re perfect as after-school snacks or as party treats.
We’re halfway through Summer and the kids will be back to school before we know it. If there’s one thing that will have them pumped up about learning their letters and numbers, it’s these Chalkboard Back-to-School Cupcakes.

How to Make Chalkboard Back-to-School Cupcakes
Like the Winnie the Pooh cupcakes from last week, these back-to-school cupcakes are made from a boxed chocolate cake mix but you can always make from scratch using your favorite recipe or get on with the fun part, the decorating, and use store-bought.
To easily find some of the supplies you will need, I’ve included affiliate links in the ingredient list below.
Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- Black fondant
- White frosting
- White Good & Plenty candies
- Wilton Apple Icing decorations
- Black cupcake liners
- 2.75″ biscuit cutter
Directions
If you opt to bake the cupcakes, allow them to cool completely before frosting.
Using a rolling pin, roll the black fondant to about 1/8″ thick and with the 2.75″ cookie/biscuit cutter, cut out 16 round circles.
Gently place a black fondant circle on each cupcake to cover top fully. Gently smooth out any wrinkles with fingers.
Attach the small round frosting tip to the disposable piping bag and fill the bag with white frosting. Gently squeeze the frosting bag and write ABC and/or 123 on top of each cupcake.
Apply a small amount of frosting to the back of the apple icings and white Good Plenty’s candies and carefully place on top of each cupcake.
Chalkboard Back-to-School Cupcakes are a fun project to do with the little ones. Be sure to put together enough for your little one to enjoy as a snack and to give out to classmates and friends. They’ll surely make him the coolest kid in school.
