These festive cupcakes from Jodi Rugg of Aurora,Illinois are sure to be the star of your Fourth of July menu. One year, I divided the batter from regular cupcakes into portions and used food coloring to make red, white and blue treats, Jodi explains. Our kids loved helping prepare them. TIP: Our daughters suggests trying different food coloring for the holidays, notes Jodi. Ingredients:
1 package white cake mix (regular size) |
1/2 teaspoon blue food coloring |
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring |
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting |
red, white and blue sprinkles |
Directions:
1. Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions for cupcakes.
2. In a small bowl, combine 1-1/3 cups batter and blue food coloring. In another bowl, combine 1-1/3 cups batter and red food coloring. Leave remaining batter plain.
3. Fill paper-lined muffin cups with 2 tablespoons red batter, 2 tablespoons plain batter and 2 tablespoons blue batter. Bake at 350° for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Frost with vanilla frosting; decorate with sprinkles. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
