Cupcakes and Sparklers

          For the 4th of July I helped host a festive cookout for our close friends.  Along with watermelon, coleslaw, and strawberries, I made cupcakes for dessert.  Almost homemade, I used french vanilla cupcake mix and added blue marbling to the batter to make them more festive!  I think they turned out really beautiful, not to mention delicious.  They were definitely a party hit!

      With seasoned hamburgers and hot dogs, grilled pineapple, homemade deep fried french fries, out cookout was just the right way to get everyone together to celebrate our homeland!
