This week’s recipe comes from Taste of Home. Their website is full of great recipes for all occasions, and they have great magazines that are very affordable.
These Patriotic cupcakes would be perfect for your Fourth of July party or picnic, and you could use different colors of food coloring for other occasions as well. It’s very easy and fun recipe that all you cupcakes fans should love.
Recipe for Patriotic Cupcakes:
Ingredients:
1 package (18-1/4 ounces) white cake mix
1/2 teaspoon blue food coloring
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
Red, white and blue sprinkles
Directions: Prepare cake batter according to package directions. 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. 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 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.

Those are cute, and perfect for a July 4th picnic.
I love seeing all of the red, white and blue recipes. They are so much fun to make.
ohhh; I love these cupcakes!
How fun! I'll have to make these for our 4th of July BBQ.
They look great! I am going to check out that site!
What fun! WE're doing a red, white and blue day on the 5th at church, so these would be great to take. 😀
Taste of Home is so great, isn't it? I haven't decided on dessert for the 4th – and these look easy and fun so they're in serious contention now!
What a cute blog this is – very inviting and lovely! (Visiting via Life as Mom's Ultimate Recipe Swap)
What a cute fourth of July idea! Fun.
