Independence-eve

I like any excuse to bring out my inner hostess. For the family BBQ tomorrow, I decided to make a cupcake flag.

I used a boxed mixed this time around. Partial as I am to baking from scratch, I was more focused on the decorating tonight. I used a French vanilla Betty Crocker mix and whipped cream frosting from Duncan Hines.

I had intended to make the flag 6x6 but I ran out of cupcakes and space in my tray. So, rather than decorating each cupcake with a different color, I frosted them all, arranged them in the tray, and used the red and blue sprinkles to make my design.

Side note, I'd never had french vanilla cake until now, and it tastes like freakin pancakes. Win.
