  • Yield: 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 baked and cooled cupcakes
  • 3 tubs vanilla frosting

Instructions

  1. Prepare your frostings by dividing the vanilla frosting into two bowls. Color one with blue gel food coloring and the other with red, mixing until desired shades are achieved.
  2. Set up piping bags: Cut the tips, insert couplers, and attach icing tips. Fill each bag with blue, white (leftover from mixing), and red frosting.
  3. Start decorating by piping blue frosting around the edges of each cupcake to create long strings. Add a second ring inside.
  4. Switch to white frosting to pipe a ring inside the blue one, followed by a small ring of red frosting in the center.
  5. Enjoy showcasing these colorful firework cupcakes at your event!
