So I made 4th of July themed cupcakes today!

I used this chocolate cupcake recipe, and the following cream cheese frosting recipe from Cupcake Blog.

Cream Cheese Frosting
From Cupcake Blog
(Makes 4-5 cups)

1-1/2 packages of Philly cream cheese
1/2 stick of butter at room temperature
4-5 cups of confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1. Using a mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese until creamy.
2. Add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla extra, mix until smooth and combined.
3. Fill your cake and frost it. For cupcakes, put frosting in piping bag with tip and make your swirl! Keep in mind, there will be leftover frosting.
