These came out so cool! My kids and I had the best time making them and decorating them! Now I didn't do as good as job as ShawnaJean but had a blast none the less! I used a Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe white cake mix and used Wiltons gels to color the batter. I used White Frosting for the frosting. Didn't really measure the batter into the cups and I ended up with 24 perfect cupcakes! Thanks for a fun 4th of July dessert!

These were a very cute idea! I used 1 tbsp. of each color per cupcake and my the tops of my cupcakes overflowed a bit. Being particular about the appearance and a smidge resourceful, while they were cooling in the cupcake pan, I took my round biscuit cutter and cut around each cupcake so that they were perfectly shaped (and thankfully the biscuit cutter was the same size as my Wilton cupcake pan - yea!). The layers came out perfectly! I used Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday cake and frosting recipe because IMO it's the best! And, they came out beautifully! Thanks for posting!

I don't know what to say about this recipe. The idea is cute. But, as written, it just won't work. First, 6 Tbls of batter is way too much for regular size muffin cups. But even if you have larger muffin cups, a cake mix with the added ingredients does not yield enough batter to make these cupcakes as instructed. Math: 6 Tbls x 18 cupcakes = 6.75 cups of batter.

Sooo Cute and PATRIOTIC.. Our fourth was rained out and I was so glad that I made these for the kids to decorate.. Made it seem more 4thish.. We had a group of people over and I had 2 sets of age groups 2-6 and 7-9 who took turns decorating these along with making Sparklers.. Thanks for the great idea..

This was really fun to make with my daughters for the 4th of July! We didn't make cupcakes but a 9x13 cake. We just very gently spread the one color on top of the other. It turned out great with the three layers. Topped with white frosting and blue and red sugar crystals. Thanks for the great idea and recipe.

Very cute. My kids had a lot of fun making these. We made cream cheese icing instead of using canned. The tops look green when they come out, but will be blue on the inside and you will not notice once frosted.
