Patriotic Cupcakes

Since Wednesday is Independence Day, I thought I would reblog these cupcakes. They really turn out cute and are not hard to make. The only thing you have to be careful of the amount of each color of batter you put in each cupcake paper. For me, 2 scant tablespoons of each color batter worked but it might be different for you. Try layering the batter for one and see how it goes. Don’t fill them to the top, about 2/3rds full should do it!
Fourth of July Cupcakes
18 1/4 ounces white cake mix
1 cup water (or as indicated on cake mix directions)
1/3 cup oil (or as indicated on cake mix directions)
3 eggs (or as indicated on cake mix directions)
1/2 teaspoon blue food coloring
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting
red white and blue candy sprinkle
Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
In a small bowl, combine 1 1/3 cups batter with blue food coloring. In another small bowl, combine red food coloring with 1 1/3 cups batter. Leave the remaining batter plain.
Fill paper-lined muffin tins with 2 tablespoons red batter, 2 tablespoons plain batter, and 2 tablespoons blue batter. Do not swirl batter, leave it layered.
Bake at 350º for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a cupcake comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes in pan and then remove cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with vanilla frosting and decorate with sprinkles.
Makes about 18 cupcakes
Happy Cooking!

I figured someone would have a red-white-and-blue cupcake for the 4th
I was thinking the same thing, only blue berries and raspberries for the colors!
