4th of July: revisited

Back in July a friend of mine, Jennifer Williams of Sheer Elementants Salon in Manchester, asked if I could make some birthday cupcakes for one of her friends.  Every year they go camping over the 4th of July.  She normally brings a cake but this year she was looking for something different.  She wanted the cupcakes to be festive, and then have a special birthday cupcake for the "guest of honor."  So  I decided to go with patriotic fireworks cupcakes.  The cake and frosting were both vanilla.  And after the camping trip was over Jennifer said the cupcakes were perfect and everyone loved them.
