Turn your favorite cake into a cupcake...

One of my favorite holidays is the 4th of July! Perhaps because it is my birthday, but I also like all of the traditions that go along with it:

• cookouts
• fireworks
• parades

and most of all FLAG CAKE!

My Mom use to make this cake for me every year. One day I was craving this cake, but didn't want to make one this big. So I turned it into a cupcake:

Ingredients:

• Angel food cake mix (cupcake baking instructions can be found on the side of the box)
• Fresh blueberries, diced
• Fresh strawberries, sliced
• Cool Whip

Baking instructions:

• Line cupcake pans with desired liners
• Spoon in angel food mix; add blueberries
• Bake according to box directions
• When ready to serve top with Cool Whip and strawberries

Tips:

• Don't add blueberries to cake mix; they will sink to the bottom and not make it into all cupakes
• Wait until cupcake has cooled completely before eating. Otherwise, cake will stick to liner
• Store cupcakes in air tight container to keep cake fresh

Happy Baking,
