    Did you try my Red White and Blue Chocolate Strawberries ? They are so delicious. These cupcakes were so fun to make. I normally make cupcakes for every holiday. They are usually easy to make and can be decorated to fit every event. If you want to make a few others, check out Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes or before long you can make Easy Back To School Cupcakes.

    As I'm sure everyone can see I'm sure, my stars came out less than perfect. However, I am getting better at making them and just want to point out that they don't have to be perfect. I normally keep several cake mixes in hand. If  I need a quick dessert or a dish to take for a BBQ or pot luck, they are a quick go-to.
