Why are red, white, and blue so cute together? I mean seriously,… I could put my kids in a 4th of July outfit every single day, all year long. Red, white, and blue food is equally as adorable. With all of the fun 4th of July events this week, you are bound to be whipping something fun up in the kitchen!? How about these adorable red, white, and blue patriotic cupcakes?
Delicious Patriotic Cupcakes for Your July 4th Festivities
This is one of my favorite summer desserts of all time…Jell-O poke cake (or cupcakes in this instance). I am sure most of you have had this delicious chilled cake, but here is a fun ‘Red, White, and Blue’ version that you can make for your summer festivities.
Simply bake a white cake mix into cupcakes, according to box instructions. Or, if you are feeling extra domestic, try this homemade white cake recipe. Once your cupcakes have cooled, poke small holes in the cake. Use a sucker stick, fork, round handle,..whatever! 🙂
Boil 1 Cup of water. Add a 3 oz Cherry or Strawberry gelatin packet to boiling water. Stir it until it dissolves. Pour or spoon the gelatin into the cupcake holes. Chill the cupcakes in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
‘Frost’ with whipped topping and add blueberries. (I like to mix pre-made vanilla or cheesecake pudding with the whipped topping. Extra-extra delicious.)
Take off the cupcake wrapper and you’ve got some really festive patriotic cupcakes. Doesn’t it look like a flag?! 🙂 Love it! Want to know the best part? They taste as good as they look! And…you get accolades for going the extra mile with your dessert.
This ‘light’ summer dessert is sure to please. What are you serving to celebrate the fourth? Do you have any favorite patriotic foods to share with us?
