\"NFFFourth<\/a>Yesterday,\u00a0I featured\u00a0A Salute to No Fuss Berry Cakes!<\/a> and to be completely<\/em> honest, at the time I was pretty enamored with all the fabu-loso\u00a0berry cake ideas for the 4th of July.<\/p>\n

BUT THEN <\/strong>I woke up in the middle of the night and was like,
\n“What?!? Am I living in 1991?!? This is the decade of the cupcake, Loralee.\u00a0 Cake was so ten years ago.” <\/em><\/p>\n

So without further ado, here are some of the cutest patriotic cupcakes I’ve seen out there!<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> If you want to diss the trend and proclaim your liberty on Independence Day by making a berry flag cake, I am all<\/strong> for that. More power to you! I will probably end up doing both. Just so I feel like I’m doing my own thing, but at the same time seeming “with it.”<\/p>\n

Here are the links and my unnecessary commentary:<\/p>\n

\nBefore we begin channeling our inner-Martha and pull out the marzipan for #3, let’s not forget the power of non-pariels…or as I call them “sprinkles.” They can make any frosted cupcake adorable in seconds. Sprinkles have saved me from a myriad of quickly-frosted failures.

\nI love the one strawberry and flag on top. So easy and so festive.

\nOkay. Let’s be honest with ourselves. This is a fussy one. But isn’t it fabulous? Click on the link if your out to prove yourself! I am positive it’s Martha approved and I LOVE it.

\nThese cupcakes prove less is always more. A sprinkle of blueberries and you are set. Love it.

\nSimilar to #4, less is more here. I love how she left a little bit of the chocolate cupcake showing. Fabulous.

\nKids love biting into a cupcake to find a multitude of colored cake. Food Create no longer has the link for the recipe, but you can follow our tutorial here <\/a>using red and white food coloring to get the results you want!

\nEdmonton reminds us that plain cupcakes can be oh-so-cute. Well-frosted red, white, and blue cupcakes are perfectly patriotic and festive. <\/p>\n
