There’s something about patriotic holidays that I just love. Red, white, and blue everywhere. Reasons to get together with family and friends. Fun times with neighbors. They’re wonderful!

One of my all-time favorite holidays is the 4th of July. And cupcakes are one of my favorite types of desserts. So this is my ode to the 4th of July AND cupcakes! 🙂

7 Fourth of July Cupcake Ideas 

I love these first four cupcakes because they all have a bit of a surprise element to them. From “firecrackers” made from Twizzlers to stars inside your cupcakes!
