1. When my party members hijacked a boat, we "accidentally" left 2 behind. SO, of course, they both make acrobatics checks to try hopping onto the boat. One succeeded, the other failed. So I used the shape water to basically pull a Frozen and crete pillars of ice for him to jump on and get on the boat.
2. So, two of my party members were being... less than nice to certain NPCs. *cough*murderhobos*cough* So my character decided to discipline them. He tossed them in the prison of the ship's hull (yes, the same ship in story one). This did not make them happy. So, they try breaking out. He sees this, then casts create bonfire directly in front of them. Yeah, on a wooden boat. Luckily, my DM didn't catch my error... but it gets worse. Of course, the rogue (one of the ones in the prison) tried to hurdle the bonfire. She gets a 9 on her check.
*Charred tiefling noises*
Remember: this is not a "I cast firebolt in a wooden tavern" (although I guess the create bonfire kind of was like that...) or something stupid (just go to the stupidest things your party did thread for that), it is creative uses of cantrips.
Druidcraft Is quite interesting. I have used it to make thunder boom when I talk(it's a sensory effect!) and make a party member's food taste bad just because. Technically, you can create a bad taste on someone's tongue.
In my first big battle I accidentely froze the water the paladin and rogue were in and created an "interesting" fight, then the paladin pulled a nat 20 and broke the ice and all resumed as normal.

I always like taking Thorn Whip when I play a character that can, because I feel that it's the attack cantrip with the most potential for shenanigans. Being innately able to pull whatever you hit with it surely means that you can pull other things, too, right DM? Or attach and swing? Hang from things? I love the flavor of it.

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?
Player combined Druidcraft to pretty much blind a man and his Telepathic feat to speak into the man's mind, terrifying him. And this guy is old as dirt to, yet was whupping their tails, forcing my druid to do this.

In the description for Presdigitation, it says as one of the uses: "You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour."
I had a PC who had absolutely no cooking experience yet took magic initiate to get Prestidigitation and started a restaurant serving the best food in the city, because as he pointed out "It says I can flavor food. It doesn't specify how goodI can flavor the food." he literally bought stale bread for a few cp and made it taste like the most delicious thing. He even implemented this rule at his restaurant that you have to eat it blindfolded, which only made it more trendy and popular
I have a hafling sorcerer with an attitude problem. He's more than happy to start a fight by casting mage hand, using metamagic to twin the spell, then using both mage hands to flip off his opponent.

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
I’m playing a half elf ranger 2/ bard 3 that can’t sing - so he tells stories to musical accompaniment using minor illusion to illustrate the scenes. The entire arty has dark vision but it’s often useful to have full illumination so he uses dancing lights (dim light so every ne can see as if it’s bright light, further he frequently casts t as all four lights together in a vaguely humanoid shape creating the illusion of a drifting ghost t try to keep others from realizing it’s the party and magic.

Hello there...
I'm assuming Frost Blast or Shape Water?
