Patriotic Camouflage Cupcake Recipe

Patriotic Camouflage Cupcake Recipe

Do you love decorating or making fun desserts for patriotic holidays or events? While it may sound a bit crazy, I love baking during the summer. Sure, it means our house gets a bit hot but it’s fun making yummy desserts that everyone will love at an outdoor picnic. I especially love baking for patriotic holidays and getting help making absolutely adorable cupcakes. This year, I decided to make some fun camouflage cupcakes, allowing me to add a fun, patriotic twist to one of our favorite cupcake recipes. The cupcakes are fairly easy to make and best of all, they are quite yummy! I mean, what’s better than having a fun military themed cupcakes on 4th of July, Veterans Day, or even at a war themed birthday party.

Really, the hardest part of this recipe is dealing with the icing, which is more patience than anything else. So, what do you think? Are these adorable patriotic cupcakes or what? Feel free to tell us what you think of our Patriotic Camouflage Cupcake recipe below!

Note: Special thanks to my friends Krista from Adventures of Country Divas for helping me with this recipe and pictures!
