Try to cook Fourth of July cupcakes – they look so nice. If your friends are fond of sweets, they will find them to be among the tastiest Fourth of July desserts.

After baking the cupcakes, let them stay in pans for at least 10 minutes. Then you can remove them from pans and let them cool for approximately half an hour. Now frost all cupcakes with white icing. Then make them look like American flags by placing red and blue gems on the white frost. Keep in mind that blue gems should be in the upper left.
