Red, White and Blue Cupcakes
These cupcakes were a fun idea I had to celebrate the 4th of July. I meant to have them up before the holiday, but since everything that’s been happening with my sister, then finally getting home and coming down with a horrendous cold, these cupcakes didn’t happen until the actual holiday. I hope you enjoy looking at them though!
These cupcakes are a simple Red Velvet cupcake with tinted cream cheese frosting on top. They are adorable, festive and taste amazing! If you'd like further instruction on how to frost these here is an icing tutorial. These would also be a great idea for a Dr Seuss themed kids’ party. They would be adorable with some Thing 1 or Thing 2 badges put on top.
One note I want to make, if you use liquid blue food coloring (like I did) for the icing you will need to add additional powdered sugar to the blue icing to bring it back to the right piping consistency. Since you are adding more liquid you are changing the consistency and if you don’t add the powdered sugar your icing won’t pipe correctly. I typically prefer to using gel food coloring but my gels weren’t as easily accessible when I made these cupcakes.
