In the last Fun Food post, I featured the fireworks cupcakes.  Now, we are going to take a look and consider making actual individual firecracker cupcakes just in time for the 4th of July!

There are really easy instructions with lots of photos shared on the Sweet & Crunchy blog at OhNuts which makes creating your own fireworks cupcakes a breeze.  Well easy that is, we might not want a breeze when playing with firecrackers.

These would truly be de"light"ful cupcakes to serve on the 4th of July.

You will be surprised at how easy it is to color your marshmallows.  The supplies you need to color your firecracker marshmallow are available at OhNuts.com.  It is not just red food coloring either.   A much tastier treat is used to color the marshmallows, but I shall let you discover that secret when you visit OhNuts.  It is simply amazing how they really do look like little firecrackers too! 

The Fireworks cupcakes would be perfect for a fourth of July party or to make as special treats for your family.

A Little Update:  My precious mother read this article a few weeks ago and made this fabulous cake for our family for the 4th of July.  I just have to say, mine could never compete with hers.  It seems she always includes that special ingredient in anything she makes, the love for her family.  Moms are simply awesome right?    Thank you Mom! 

PS:  Our son has eaten the leftovers for breakfast for the last 2 days.  Sorry to say, it is all gone now.
