These festive cupcakes are sure to be the star of your Fourth of July menu. I divided the batter from regular cupcakes into portions and used food coloring to make red, white and blue treats. Our kids loved helping prepare them. -Jodi Rugg, Aurora, Illinois

I'm not a fan of red velvet cake, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good. The frosting was light and fluffy, and the cake was moist and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly but my cupcakes didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The frosting was too runny and the cupcakes were a little dry.
