I went to South Carolina to visit family for the Fourth of July. While there, my 13- and 11-year-old cousins decided they wanted to help me make a Fourth of July cupcake cake that looked like an American flag. I had limited supplies, as I did not bring food coloring or something to put them cupcakes out on for display, but I made do with what I had and they helped decorate with red and white candy. In the future, I will be able to make the cake a better red and blue, but this was a nice treat to make and enjoyable to make with my younger cousins.
