Fourth of July is nearly upon us, and that means it’s time to bust out your best red, white, and blue. This year, we’re taking the theme all the way through dessert with these festive, can’t-miss cupcakes straight from Pinterest.
Red, White, and Blue Berry Cupcakes
These cupcakes are easy as can be. Start with white cupcakes, pipe on cream cheese icing, and pile high with blueberries and raspberries.
Firecracker Cupcakes
If you’re looking for a dessert that will add a pop to your 4th of July menu, you’ve found it. The firecracker topping is made with marshmallows, red chocolate coating, and black licorice.
Red Velvet Cupcakes
These Red Velvet Cupcakes are a classic. We love the addition of three blueberries to top it off.
Sugar Cookie Cupcakes
Top your cupcakes with homemade star cookies or opt for convenience and pick some up at your bakery—stores should be stocked with plenty of patriotic options this time of year.
Fourth of July Flags
These cupcakes couldn’t be simpler. Just use your favorite red velvet cake recipe and bake in cupcake liners. Frost with cream cheese icing and top it off with a festive 4th of July flag.
Red, White, and Blue Cupcake Cones
Skip the cupcake liners and opt for cones instead. A bright red cherry on top is the perfect garnish.
Red, White, and Blue Cupcake in a Jar
These individual-sized desserts are perfect for an outdoor party—especially if your dessert table is within the pool splash zone. Just don’t leave them out in the heat too long.
