Independence Day Cupcakes

by on Jul.03, 2010, under Yummies

Whew, getting this one in just under the wire. If you’re like me, a procrastinator, then this might just be the recipe for you! I had been thinking over the last few weeks about doing a special cupcake for the upcoming holiday, and had the grandiose ideas about red velvet, blueberry filled, cream cheese iced monstrosity. The more I thought about it though, the more I didn’t think some elaborate mashing up of so many flavors would really turn out all that well. So I scrapped that idea and went back to square one. Then, this little gem caught my eye when I was off searching for some other cupcake recipes and I knew this was what I wanted to do.

Patriotic Cupcakes

Cute, easy to make, and delicious (still used the cream cheese frosting)!

As a bonus holiday recipe, my friends over at Foodwhirl found these adorable dipped strawberries. Considering that strawberries are in season right now, I think this is a perfect treat for a hot day with friends and family.

Red, White, and Blue Strawberries

Happy Birthday America! There is no place I would rather be a citizen of then this wonderful county right here!
