Patriotic Cupcakes





















I made these cupcakes several years ago for a cake walk at my daughter's school.  You can make any flavor of jumbo-size cupcakes for this.  I used regular buttercream frosting and colored 1/3 of it red, 1/3 of it blue and left the rest of it white.  Fill three pastry bags with the frosting, using one color in each one.  I used a star tip to pipe the stripes in a slightly wavy fashion.  The stars are mini sugar cookies that I dipped in a cookie glaze and let them set up before placing them on top.

This same design can be done on a round sugar cookie as well.  Any holiday is a good time to show off your creativity.  I hope you are inspired to get creating!

Happy decorating,
Pam
