Watermelon Cupcakes
Photo and recipe by
Tami Rose of FamilyCorner.com

These cute summertime cupcakes are perfect for the upcoming July 4th weekend. They're easy to make and the kids can have fun by helping to "bake" them. You can use your own from scratch cupcakes or use ready made and even boxed cupcake mix with this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 box white cake mix or your own white cupcake recipe
1 cup boiling water
1 small box of watermelon flavored Jell-O or any red colored Jell-O
1 8oz container of Cool Whip, thawed
red & green liquid food coloring
mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

Make your own by scratch or cupcake mix. Use cupcake liners. Cool cupcakes.

Stir boiling water into powdered Jell-O until dissolved. Pierce tops of cupcakes several times with a meat fork or straw. Spoon Jell-O over cupcakes, making sure that the liquid is going down into the holes. Refrigerate 30 min. Remove from pans.

Tint Cool Whip with red and green food coloring.

Using plastic baggies to hold the whipped topping, pipe a green circle around the outside rim of each cupcake.

Fill in the middle with pink whipped topping.

Add mini chocolate chips to represent watermelon seeds.

Store in refrigerator. Best if eaten the same day.

This is simple to make and even easier if you stop at your local grocery store to buy it!

Buy or make 18 chocolate or vanilla cupcakes.

Buy or make your favorite buttercream frosting.

Cover the top of the cupcakes with a layer of white or vanilla buttercream.

If you use thawed Cool Whip , its even easier.

Add some red food coloring to a batch of frosting for stripes.

Add some blue food coloring to a batch of frosting for the background of the stars area.

You can buy pre-made candy stars or use jelly beans, or candy for the stars.

You can pipe frosting around the sides with canned frosting or a pastry bag.

If you use Cool Whip frosting be sure to refrigerate the cake.

Happy July 4th!
