You guys already know what time it is. Rounding that work week corner into 4th of July weekend and all we can think about is fireworks, booze and food. Since a lot of the food we make for 4th of July is usually made on the grill, it makes some room in the oven for baking.
Cupcakes are the perfect 4th of July dessert, they can be eaten with just your hands and you can make more than enough to feed your guests. Whether you are having a casual cook-out with family or an Independence Day Bash, these 8 cupcakes recipes will fit the bill for any size party or type of guests.
Red, White and Blue Mason Jar Cupcakes
Mason Jar Cupcakes you guys! Stack some cupcakes and you have a clever way to serve your guests their dessert.
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Classic cupcake recipe, with a sweet whipped cream surprise. I love this recipe becuase it will never go out of style.
Lemon Whipped Cream 4th of July Cupcakes
So these might be one of my favorites because I love a good lemon flavor with dessert and so does my boyfriends. Also if you are serving me some cake, it better have some whipped cream frosting

You guys know that Seinfeld episode with Elaine and her muffin top habit, now it’s spreading to the cupcake world. I love this idea! It makes dessert smaller, but tastier by adding more fruit on top. Such a good idea!
4th of July Surprise Cupcakes
Looking at the cupcake with the surprise star in it, you might think, “well crap, I can’t do that.” But you can! Moscato Mom makes it look fun and easy! Seriously, just try it.
Vegan & Gluten Free Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Vegan cupcakes are my weakness. Especially since the world of vegan baking gets better every year because they find new things to bake with. But these are great for anyone and you don’t have to tell your guests they are vegan or gluten free, just let them enjoy.

Another way to cut more calories this holiday, blue velevet cupcakes with a coconut frosting. Looks amazing and you will feel better eating them.
