Who doesn't like cupcakes? They are the perfect size of cakey goodness. My cousin and I wanted to make some fourth of July cupcakes so we could use the adorable pinwheels and cupcake wrappers I bought. She has never made tri-color cupcakes so we decided to have a little bit of coloring fun. They turned out very patriotic!Ingredients:
1 box white cake mix plus ingredients listed on box
Red and blue food coloring
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix according to directions on box. Separate dough into three medium sized bowls. Tint one bowl red, one blue, and leave the other white. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. Start dropping one spoonful of dough in alternating colors into each cupcake paper until about 3/4 full.
Bake according to package directions.
Remove cupcakes from pan and allow to cool completely. Frost using icing recipe below or by tinting store bought frosting. Decorate and enjoy!Betty Crocker's Creamy Vanilla Frosting:

These are so cute. I've never tried this, but I've seen them around and they look like so much fun. The frosting looks great too!
What a great idea! I would never have thought of that.
