Description
Celebrate the 4th of July with these vibrant, festive cupcakes that are the perfect addition to any celebration.
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix (plus the ingredients listed on the box)
- Red and blue food coloring
- 1 tub vanilla frosting
- Star-shaped sprinkles or other patriotic decorations
- Cupcake liners
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Make the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Once the batter is mixed, divide it into three separate bowls. Color one bowl red with red food coloring, one bowl blue with blue food coloring, and leave the third bowl white.
3. Spoon a small amount of each color (red, white, and blue) into the prepared cupcake liners, creating a layered effect.
4. Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.
5. Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost them with the vanilla frosting. Top each cupcake with your desired patriotic decorations, such as star-shaped sprinkles, mini American flags, or other festive toppings.
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
Be careful with food coloring; start with just a few drops and gradually add more.
When layering the batter, use a small spoon or cookie scoop to ensure even distribution.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.
Get creative with your patriotic decorations!
