These Swirl Cupcakes are the perfect 4th of July Cupcake! Swirled frosting dresses up a plain vanilla cupcake so easily, the perfect patriotic dessert for the fourth!
This cupcake would be so fun to make with any colors, but I love patriotic red and blue best.
The Fourth of July is such a fun day – it’s America’s birthday! And how better to celebrate America than with cupcakes?
Patriotic cupcakes are such a fun dessert for a 4th of July party. During summer parties and BBQs it’s easiest to serve things that don’t need cutting or slicing. Cupcakes are the perfect option for that!
When I think of traditional 4th of July foods, I think about apple pie, fluff, watermelon, and punch, along with hot dogs and grilled pizza. We usually set up a huge party area for food and drinks and then people just grab and go and cupcakes are perfect for that.
If you’re looking for a fun red, white, and blue cupcake recipe, I’ve got you covered. Between these Swirled 4th of July Cupcakes and Fireworks Cupcakes there is a cupcake for everyone. And don’t forget about this Funfetti Flag Cake, which would be a great addition to a party too.
The key to making these cupcakes is the swirled frosting. Making a swirl frosting is easy and can dress up even the most basic cupcakes. You can use your favorite cupcake recipe, but if you want to use a box mix or even buy store-bought cupcakes, no one will be the wiser once they see the frosting.
