I found a bunch of shiny 4th of July decorations, probably meant for a wreath, cut them up and added as toppers to my dessert. Who says you have to find your cake decorations in the cake isle? ha! If it’s good enough for a wreath, it’s good enough for my cupcakes. LOL!

Red, White and Blue Funfetti Cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 Butter Cake Mix Box
- ½ cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 Eggs
Frosting
- 6 cup Powdered Sugar
- ⅔ cup Butter softened
- 2 ½ teaspoon Vanilla
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- ¼ cup Patriotic Candy Sprinkles
Decoration
- 3-5 cups Red, White and Blue Candy
- 12 Plastic Wine Glasses
- 12 American Flag Toothpicks
Instructions
Cupcakes
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, oil, eggs and water until cake batter is creamy.
- Gently fold patriotic candy sprinkles into the cake batter. If you mix them in too much the colors will blend.

Frosting
- Make the homemade frosting by mixing powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and milk into bowl. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Add extra milk to get desired thickness.
- If desired, add red or blue food coloring. Frost the cupcakes.
Decorations
- Top cupcakes with additional candy sprinkles, small American Flags and other patriotic decorations of your choice.
- For an extra fun 4th of July party display, fill a plastic wine glass 3/4 full of patriotic candy and place cupcakes on top of candy.
You mention water in step one but no reference to amount in the list at all. I’m using the amount stated on the box mix and hoping for the best.
