My 4th of July Decorations on my entry table... |
So on Diana's Desserts website I found a simple 4th of July cupcake decorated with marshmallow whip and real cream that sounded great, and it uses the 2 fruits. It looked very cute too so I decided to copy. Thanks Diana! Her website link is
HERE.
They turned out really yummy. I used cream cheese and marshmallow whip and cool whip because I thought the real whip cream would melt in the heat. They were marvelicious! Mmmmm.....I'm thinkin' of one of those babies right now!

4th of July cupcakes from Hoosier Homemade... |
Another cute decorating idea was from Cupcake Heaven's ideas at Hoosier Homemade. Her link is

I liked the red licorice striped cupcakes with the little candy blue balls. I have some peel apart red licorice so I will try that one too. And maybe I can come up with some little picks in a patriotic theme.

My finished chocolate cupcakes! Yummo! |
So my cake is chocolate... I always add about a 1/2 cup of sour cream and a small chocolate pudding mix. It makes it a lot richer......and my icing I made with Marshmallow Creme (fluff stuff) about a cup or so, and cream cheese (about a half of a large block) and about a cup of Cool Whip. I just mess with it till it looks and tastes the consistency I want. And I gave it a little 4 drops of lime juice for a kick. It is sooooo delicious! You can also use it as a fruit dip. It's to die for.

I found some little flags and stuck them on toothpicks |
|
These 3 ingredients make THE BEST ICING EVER! (or fruit dip) |
