Easy Raspberry Cupcakes
Easy Raspberry Cupcakes I love a good cupcake. I always have. It's a great way to get some of your favorite cake but in a mini cake format. Cupcakes, mini cupcakes, cakes, mini cakes...
With Independence Day coming up, many of us will also have July 4th parties and/or celebrations. If your patriotic parties are anything like our events, then red, white and blue will most likely make an appearance. Probably a lot. I love to see how creative people can get with the colors of our country's flag. We would always make red, white & blue desserts several times each year. We hope that these 4th of July Dessert Recipes inspire you. Tell us in the comments below which one is your favorite.
As avid bakers in this household, we have tried and true baking items that we consistently use when baking up any tasty treats in our kitchen. Some of these things, I used as a kid when baking with my grandmother. Here are some of our favorite, must-have baking essentials:
These fabulous Boston Sweets Silicone Cupcake Liners (24 Pack Baking Cups in EIGHT colors – Reusable & Nonstick Muffin Molds) get used again and again in our kitchen. We use them for muffin molds as well in place of a muffin tin. This cuts down on the amount of baking pans overall because they hold their shape while baking.
While I love those reusable cupcake liners I mentioned above, very often I am baking to give to family and friends. When baking for a holiday like Independence Day and those 4th of July parties, I use something like the Wilton Patriotic Cupcake Decorating Kit to make adorable cupcakes that look and taste great.
I have to say that I am a little in love with these mini trifle bowls. They are so incredibly versatile that we use these dishes for ice cream, pudding, yogurt, trifles, of course, and so much more. For larger crowds or events outside the home, I love this large trifle bowl.
I love cake pops but I especially love getting creative with cake pops and these Clear Push-Up Cake Pop Shooter Containers come with 24 Lids, Base & Sticks. You can create layered cake pops as pictured above plus a lot of other things.
