The 4th of July is almost here!!! Are you ready for hot dogs, burgers, chips, picnic blankets and red, white and blue desserts?! Well, here’s another option for your dessert table 🙂 Red velvet cupcakes topped with a whipped cream frosting and fresh blueberries!
The Story:
The 4th of July is my favorite day of the summer. Not only do we get to eat hot dogs and macaroni and cheese all day long and wash it down with a slurpee or two, but we can wear whatever we want… as long as it’s red, white and blue. Painted jeans, glitter shorts, ribbons in our hair, stickers on our face–we can wear it all and no one can say a bad word about us 🙂
Here’s to getting to wear crazy clothes and celebrate our freedom in style.
God bless America. I really do love this country and everything we enjoy by living here.

Lemon Whipped Cream 4th of July Cupcakes
Stunning, as usual! Pinned 🙂
the 4th is my overall favorite holiday of the year (yes, it beats Halloween and Christmas, in my book.) It’s the start of summer (my favorite season) and I love the red, white and blue clothes and desserts. Pinned!
Do these have to be refrigerated since there is whipping cream in the frosting?
If it’s just for the day… then no. Any longer, and yes I would refrigerate them!
How many cupcakes does this recipe make?
Mine made 12. But I practically filled them.
These look amazing! Wish I would have seen this recipe earlier!
Is there a brand of red velvet mix you prefer?
They turned out pretty. I used cut up red,white, and blue M & M’s on top in place of blueberries. If I make them again I would use a regular cream cheese frosting. This frosting was too light and tasted more like plain whipped cream. It didn’t have any substance and seemed to be practically melting as I was frosting them. They will need to stay refrigerated until eating since it is July and pretty warm outside.
Batter? Good, but tastes pretty ordinary. If you want to amaze people, this is not the recipe for you. The frosting tastes just like cool whip, considering that July is a hot month, that may be what you like. Red velvet and cool whip though? Not a good combination. It tastes like a hodge podge of mediocrity.
So good and easy! Thank you!
Do these need to be refrigerated ?

This looks so delicious. I want to try this soon to impress my friend. She will be very happy when she eats this. We both live in Dubai and we met when looking for jobs in UAE.
