Create these fun and functional "grills" to serve treats in a clever way for your next backyard BBQ! Crown cupcakes with "grilled" food toppers for an extra dose of whimsy your guests will love!
Begin by painting a DIY Wood Crate a deep blue color. Only paint the box itself, not the lid as it will not be used. We used the smaller size of the two crates, but feel free to use the larger if it better suits your needs.
Next, trim eight white balloon sticks to hang just slightly over each end of the width of the wooden crate. Trim two of the sticks to the exact length of the crate on the long end. Take the sticks outside to a well-ventilated area and spray paint them silver.
Once the paint on the crate has dried, wrap yellow baker's twine around the center portion of the crate to provide a pop of color. Apply a dab of hot glue at the start and end of the baker's twine to secure it to the box.
Download and print the free grill labels onto white cardstock and then use a 2.5" circle punch to cut them out. Attach one label to the front of the crate using hot glue. Note: the grill labels are cute as cupcake toppers as well!
Next, add black Faith Stones to mimic the look of charcoal.
Finally, arrange treats such as cupcakes atop the grills to display them during your Backyard Baby-Q Baby Shower! Be sure to download all the fun (and free!) Backyard Baby-Q Baby Shower printables here, and don't miss the tutorial to create your own Mama's Saucy Cravings BBQ Sauce Tasting Station!
