Ingredients
- 24 cupcakes baked as directed on box (or make homemade cupcakes)
- 1 container vanilla icing (or homemade Vanilla Buttercream Frosting)
- 1 container 4th of July sprinkles
- 4th of July cupcake toppers (optional)
- 4th of July cupcake liners (optional)
Instructions
- Bake your cupcakes as directed on the box. Allow to cool completely
- Take a small knife and cut out the center of each cupcake.
- Save the top and cut the inside of the top of the cut out out cupcake (making a "lid").
- Pour 4th of July sprinkles inside. (You can also mix 4th of July sprinkles with pop rocks or an even more fun idea)
- Place the cupcake lid back on top.
- Ice the cupcakes like normal. I did use a piping bag to make to make it easier to icing.
- Add additional sprinkles and top with some fun 4th of July cupcake toppers.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Your kids will go nuts over this 4th of July dessert!
