The Fourth of July was a few weeks ago and it took me a few days but I finally figured out what I was going to make for the family party... cupcakes! I will admit that I am somewhat obsessed about being able to try out different recipes for my family events. I opted for red white and blue cupcakes. I have no idea where I originally saw this but if it was your idea I will gladly give you props.
I made the cake as directed and then split it into thirds, dying some red and some blue and leaving the rest white. Apparently I have girly pastel colors so it looks more like baby boy blue or baby girl pink, but whatever.
Some of the cupcakes I layered the colors in and some I just splattered the three colors together. The splatters started because my layer cupcakes were a little on the thick side so I kinda ran out of some of the colors. Oops live and learn.

The layered cupcakes rose more out of the pan and looked more like what you get at a cupcake place. I was thrilled by this result. I think I would rather have fewer large cupcakes than so many small cupcakes in the future. I attempted to ice the cupcakes all cute and stuff but that failed so I just iced them with a knife the normal way.
These were sooo good. I will definitely be bringing them to another party whenever that may be, but I think I will be getting new food coloring at some point soon.
