My mom asked me to bring some cupcakes for our family 4th cookout, and when I make cupcakes I like to go all out, so I browsed the baking isle and managed to throw this together. Now I'm trying to resist eating them until the BBQ tomorrow :/

You Will Need (6 things)
- Vanilla Frosting preferably whipped
- Pudding Mix vanilla or white chocolate
- Food Coloring red and blue
- Sugar
- White Chocolate Chips
- Strawberries
Steps (12 steps, 75 minutes)
-
1
Follow directions on the cake mix to prepare your batter, and add blue food coloring until you get the shade you want. Then pour into a muffin pan and bake as directed.
-
2
While your cupcakes are baking, put frosting into a bowl and mix in red food coloring.
-
3
While you're at it, mix a little bit of blue food coloring with some sugar. I made too much here.
-
4
Make your pudding mix.
-
5
Once your cupcakes are done and cooled, use a spoon and carefully cut/spoon out the center of the cupcakes.
-
6
Spoon a bit of pudding into each cupcake
-
7
Add frosting. I personally put mine in a ziplock baggie and cut the corner and squirted it on.
-
8
Sprinkle some of your colored sugar on.
-
9
Melt your white chocolate chips. I did mine in a pan on a stove, I recommend adding a little veggie oil to keep it from burning.

For this style of cupcake, drizzle the white chocolate over the cupcakes, then take a strawberry and dip it in the white chocolate, then in the blue sugar.

For these, I sliced the strawberries (I like it because the inside of the strawberry looks like an exploding firework), put a little blob of white chocolate on it, and sprinkle some of the colored sugar over it. I also put a couple white chocolate chips around the strawberry slice.
