These cute red, white, and blue cupcakes are perfect for patriotic holidays like the 4th of July. Not only are they adorable and delicious, but they are also really easy to make! Keep reading to find the secret behind these tasty treats!
Did y’all know just a few years ago I was big into baking? I mean, I baked ALL KINDS of stuff. Cupcakes, cakes, cake balls (before they got popular, dangit!), the list just goes on and on. See, I’m good at that sort of thing but I don’t have the heart and passion for it. It takes a lot of work, and tons of patience, and I’m just not up for doing that every day any more. But the kiddos still want treats somedays, we still have get togethers to attend, which means I had to come up with something awesome but easy. So today I’m sharing my super secret, 2 step recipe for red, white, and blue cupcakes that are the perfect dessert for your upcoming 4th of July parties. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Red, White & Blue Cupcakes
Step 1: Buy premade cupcakes with white icing, raspberries, and blueberries.
Step 2: Arrange the berries on top of the cupcakes.
Ta-dah! That’s it! I know, it’s super lazy easy right? Look how cute they are, and they literally take seconds to put together. My 4yo daughter actually made the ones for our party, and she was so proud of herself when she was finished. She had just as much fun as if we had made them from scratch, but this was faster and a lot less messy! Just don’t tell on me now, ya hear? 😉
A few tips:
-You can switch out any red berry for the raspberries, it really doesn’t matter. You could do strawberries or even cherries!
-Check for discount cupcakes, I know they mark them down the next day at Kroger and Walmart. I paid about $6.00 for the dozen, but didn’t have to bake or pipe icing on, woohoo!
-Make sure all your blueberries are facing the same way, or they won’t look nearly as cutesy.
