Here’s a summer cupcake idea for Memorial Day, The Fourth of July, or any summer party. I used mini cupcakes to put this one together, but it would work just as well for regular sized cupcakes. It takes 48 cupcakes total to make the flag.
Ice twelve cupcakes with royal blue icing, use one of the star tips to make white stars on the blue cupcakes. Arrange the blue cupcakes in 3 rows of 4.
Ice the rest of the cupcakes with white icing. Arrange the white cupcakes 4 more cupcakes to finish off the blue rows. Add 3 more rows of white cupcakes below. For a total of 6 rows of 8 cupcakes. Add strawberry slices to make stripes.
I covered a baking sheet with silver foil to make the flag on. If you will be traveling with your cupcake flag, add a tiny dollop of icing under each cupcake to help hold them in place.
That’s an awesome idea! I’m going to try this for the fourth of July. The idea about putting icing underneath to hold it in place is sure to be very helpful.
Thanks Minnie, it’s one of my favorite little tricks:) It works anytime you want to hold cupcakes (or cake) in place for travel.
