      This was really fun to make with my daughters for the 4th of July! We didn't make cupcakes but a 9x13 cake. We just very gently spread the one color on top of the other. It turned out great with the three layers. Topped with white frosting and blue and red sugar crystals. Thanks for the great idea and recipe.

      Wonderful! These turned out so pretty! I used Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday Cake and Frosting for the icing and the cake, but used your directions to color the batter. I used 1 T. of each color batter in each muffin cup and came out with 24 cupcakes. Everyone loved them and I plan on using this recipe for other holidays. Thank you Lvs2Cook for posting!

      I like the idea behind these but I've got to say that 2tbsp of each color is too much. The cupcakes overflow. I did approx. 1-1 1/2tbsp per color and they came out perfect. (The box says 24 cupcakes and if it only makes 12 this was they seem overfilled)

      These were a very cute idea! I used 1 tbsp. of each color per cupcake and my the tops of my cupcakes overflowed a bit. Being particular about the appearance and a smidge resourceful, while they were cooling in the cupcake pan, I took my round biscuit cutter and cut around each cupcake so that they were perfectly shaped (and thankfully the biscuit cutter was the same size as my Wilton cupcake pan - yea!). The layers came out perfectly! I used Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday cake and frosting recipe because IMO it's the best! And, they came out beautifully! Thanks for posting!

      I don't know what to say about this recipe. The idea is cute. But, as written, it just won't work. First, 6 Tbls of batter is way too much for regular size muffin cups. But even if you have larger muffin cups, a cake mix with the added ingredients does not yield enough batter to make these cupcakes as instructed. Math: 6 Tbls x 18 cupcakes = 6.75 cups of batter.

      Searched for something festive to take to the fireworks this year for our family. This was a hit. What fun and colorful cupcakes! My 5 year old niece thought they were amazing! I used wilton coloring to get a deep color in the batter. I made exactly as listed and they turned out great! Frosted with buttercream in a red/blue striped pastry bag. Sure to become a yearly tradition! Thanks for sharing Lvs2Cook! Can't wait to try different colors for other holidays :)

      I had fun making these and they were, of course, a big hit at the Fourth of July party I brought them to! My guests were intrigued and they were delicious :) I swirled store bought vanilla cake icing on top and sprinkled with red sugar crystals.

      What a fun recipe! I made Vibrant Rainbow Cake a couple weeks ago, and that gave me the idea to look for something red, white and blue for July 4th. Your cupcake recipe was a hit at our house! Thanks so much for posting it here.

      Very cute. My kids had a lot of fun making these. We made cream cheese icing instead of using canned. The tops look green when they come out, but will be blue on the inside and you will not notice once frosted.

      Sooo Cute and PATRIOTIC.. Our fourth was rained out and I was so glad that I made these for the kids to decorate.. Made it seem more 4thish.. We had a group of people over and I had 2 sets of age groups 2-6 and 7-9 who took turns decorating these along with making Sparklers.. Thanks for the great idea.. :)

      These came out so cool! My kids and I had the best time making them and decorating them! Now I didn't do as good as job as ShawnaJean but had a blast none the less! I used a Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe white cake mix and used Wiltons gels to color the batter. I used Recipe #68356 for the frosting. Didn't really measure the batter into the cups and I ended up with 24 perfect cupcakes! Thanks for a fun 4th of July dessert!
