With many parades and firework shows being canceled due to the pandemic, this year 4th of July is poised to be slightly different than usual, but that doesn’t mean it has to be disappointing. If there is one thing that rivals 4th of July fireworks, then that’s 4th of July desserts that show off patriotic pride. Thanks to colorful icings, fruits, sprinkles, and more, festive sweets are some of the easiest (and yummiest) holiday foods to get the red, white, and blue treatment.
So here’s the recipe of classic Fire Cracker Cupcakes adapted from the original recipe on the Betty Crocker website
