July 4th Mini-Cupcake Flag "Cake"

We are throwing a 4th of July party at our house, so the other day I decided to test out a few recipes on the kids to see if any ideas were keepers. Here is our top contender.



A 4th of July mini-cupcake flag. I have the pleasure of guest posting on my friend Laura's blog, Elegant Nest today with the full blow-by-blow or bake-frost-top, if you will, so head on over and check it out.

You can't expect that we stopped there, right? You've seen those kids cook. So we not only made the mini-cupcakes, we also made some regular cupcakes as well.



The regular cupcakes got either white or chocolate frosting (the chocolate was left over from my son's construction machine birthday cake). A few even got a slightly spooky combo since I didn't want ot dirty up two piping bags! Then, each child got a tupperware to contain the sprinkle mess, and they got to decorate as they saw fit.

We have a new neighbor on our block, so I decided to give them a few of the mini cupcakes, creating an even mini-er flag in a tupperware.

Topped it with a quick label welcoming them to the street and we were off to greet our neighbors!
