Now that you're your own master decorator, let me know how your Fourth of July cupcakes turn out! You can get creative for different holidays or any occasion!
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line to 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with a non-stick cooking spray. Mix the cake batter ingredients directed on the cake mix.
Once mixed divide the batter equally into three bowls. Dye one bowl blue and one red. Leave the last bowl white (if using a vanilla mix you can dye it white or just leave it uncolored.)
Add the 3 batter colors to individual piping bags snipping the ends. Add the batter to the cupcake liners, alternating between the three colors, until the cupcake liners are about 3/4 full.
