Mix up your favorite white cupcake
recipe or boxed mix according
to directions and separate into 3
batches.
Add blue coloring to 1 portion, red
to the other and leave one plain.*
Take about 1 tablespoon of the red
to fill 1/4 of the total cupcake tin
space, as you want to fill the tin 3/4
total using all 3 colors. Do the same
with white and then the blue. Do
not swirl, but leave it in layers.
Bake for amount of time recipe
indicated.
Take out to cool for at least 30
minutes before icing.
While cooling, mix icing. Pick your
favorite basic buttercream and
flavor as desired. Separate into 2
or 3 batches (I did 3 but just white
and one other color is fun too!) and
color and flavor as wanted.
Decorate! Add sprinkles or just
icing to all cupcakesand have fun!
Ifyou have decorating bags and
tips you can do a fun multi-color
swirl by putting alittle of each
color, side by side, in your icing
bag.
FUN IDEA! Have the
kids to ice their
own cupcakes! No
matter how they are
decorated, they’ll be a
huge hit at your 4th of
July gathering!
