Memorial day cupcakes

Saturday evening we went to a BBQ at a friends house. We all brought our own meat, and something to share. I got a new cake decorating tip last week that I was wanting to try out on cupcakes...it's kind of a cupcake tip. This tip makes those giant swirls on the tops, that make cupcakes look like ice cream cones. So it's a lot of frosting for one cupcake and since not many adults like to have a lot of frosting(well, besides me...and maybe my mom), but generally kids do, I thought I'd bring it to the BBQ, because there was going to be lots of children there. I decorated 1/3 of the cupcakes in red, 1/3 in white and 1/3 in blue icing, and then I arranged them on the carrying tray, like the American flag. And I was right; they were a hit with the kids and were gone pretty fast. There's just something fantastic about eating a cupcake that has this giant colored swirl on top. I know I was excited! And I get so excited every time we walk into Peterson's Market bakery area and I get to see all the wonderful cakes they have there, with TONS of frosting! It makes my mouth water just thinking about it :).The only downside of these cupcakes(in my opinion) is that the blue and red ones change the color of your teeth and tongue. But that's only a very minor setback, and one that is easily remedied with a toothbrush and water.
