Regarding patriotic cupcakes...?!
Hi!
I am going to make some cupcakes for a party on November 4th and I am going to use cream cheese icing to cover the cupcakes and then put some blueberries in the corner to represent the stars on the American flag and I was wondering, would red gel icing(for the stripes, of course) taste ok on a cupcake!? Personally, I've avoided icing in general throughout my life 'cause I just don't like it!.!.!.but now that I am baking for other people!.!.!.I'm really not sure what would taste good!.
I was thinking about using fruit roll-ups or fruit leather but I think that would taste weird with a cupcake!.!.!.
Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just add a little red food coloring to some of the cream cheese frosting that you make, put it in a piping bag and squirt it on!. Same great taste, and easy too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Go with your first choice!. The gel would work fine or you could use the red icing in the compressed can with the different tips!. the fruit might throw some off because I know i don't associate fruit and cupcakes but everyone is different!. you could also put all of the cupcakes together to where they are touching and then just make all the little cupcakes part of one big flag picture!.
