Tasty Recipe: Fourth of July Flag Cupcake Cake

Really cute idea for your Fourth of July party!
If you have more mouths to feed, just multiply the cupcakes.

Thanks to Sweet Art by Elizabeth in Canada for the fun video.

Elizabeth makes some really cute High Heel cupcakes and she's got a fun idea if you are having a movie theme night - cupcakes that look like little popcorn buckets.

Love this! Apple roses - a rose shaped baked apple and puff pastry dessert.

There are many versions out there, but Manuela's gets my vote for most thorough explanation.
