American Flag Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • Your favorite premade white cupcakes 
  • Vanilla frosting
  • Red and blue mini M&Ms
  • Decorating piping bag
  • Piping bag tip
  • Cupcake liners

How to Make Your American Flag Cupcakes

We choose to make American Flag Cupcakes because what else screams 4th of July then the good ol Red White and Blue flag?

These cupcakes are seriously so easy and fun to make. The only problem you may run into is eating up the M&Ms before you are finished.

So make sure to just avoid the red and blue ones!

Bake your cupcakes according to your favorite recipe, or by following the directions on the box.

Now let your cupcakes cool completely before icing them.

Ice your cupcakes with the vanilla icing. We used a piping bag to get a smoother more finished look for cupcakes.

If you’ve never used a piping bag, its pretty easy. You simply cut off the tip and stick in your decorating tip. You then use a big spoon to fill up your piping bag. 

Yes, you can even use store bought icing for this! I’ve done it and it worked great.

In a pinch, you could ice your cupcakes without the decorating bag, but it really adds a finished look.

Now place 6 of the blue M&M’s in the left corner of your cupcake, in a triangle shape.

Then use the red M&M’s to create the stripes of your American flag. 

Repeat using all of your cupcakes. 

You’ll have an adorable, American flag themed cupcake batch ready for any 4th of July party!
