Talk about patriotic!!! These Red, White, and Blue Cupcakes not only look festive, they are delicious. Made with a red velvet cake mix and my buttercream frosting recipe, they are the perfect grab-and-go cookout dessert for the fourth of July, or anytime. Soft and flavorful with the right amount of sweetness, and my easy method for creating the swirled icing is worth a try, the kiddos will love! (and the adults😉)
Let’s begin!
Ingredients:
NOTE: To create the swirled patriotic look, you will also need red and blue food coloring, frosting bag, plastic wrap and a 1M Wilton frosting tip.
One afterthought I had, was I should have added white chocolate chips to the batter! Oh well…maybe an idea for you though?
