I'm making these with homemade red velvet cake (as opposed to the boxed variety) and topping them with blue candles and/or sprinkles instead of nuts. Perfect color scheme. Perfect concoction.
Here's a healthier, but still delectable treat. Throw in some blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, and you've got an Independence Day trifecta (and the honey helps, too).
My best friend loves frosting, loves watermelon, and hates cake. So we've decided to make this watermelon cake (in addition to the cupcakes) this year. The fruit is really just a vehicle for frosting, but hey, that's cool.
I've never been a big donut person. But once in awhile I get the weirdest, most intense donut craving. If it happens to strike on the 4th, these may just do the trick. And for festive purposes, I'd add some blue sprinkles.
