4th of July Cupcake Instructions
Cupcake Instructions

Line cupcake pan with paper liners
- Mix together the butter and sugar until creamy
4. Mix in the eggs, one at a time
5. Mix in the extract
6. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder; add to wet ingredients and mix well.
7. Add milk and blend in
8. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling to about ¼ inch from the top
9. Bake on the center rack of oven for approx. 25 minutes. Tops should be slightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean

Icing Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy
2. Add extract and mix in
3. Gradually add in powdered sugar, mixing well on medium speed and scraping bowl often
4. Add milk and blend in
5. Divide icing into three bowls. Remove and set aside approx. ¼ cups of icing from each bowl for the white stars.
6. Add blue food color to one of the larger bowls and red to the other. Amount to add depends on how deep you want your color. I added approx. ¼ tsp to each bowl.
7. Fill one piping bag with blue and one with red. Attach to the multi-color coupler according to instructions on package. There is a three-color option but I only used two. (link included below) Pipe the multi-color swirl. I used the 1-A tip. included.
8. Place the white icing into a piping bag and add a star to the top of each cupcake. I used a 4-B tip (not included in kit.) (check out the video included for piping info.)
Notes
This is the 3-color icing kit I used.
