"These red, white, and blue cupcakes are decorated for the 4th of July, Flag Day, or Memorial Day, but you'll want to serve them year-round. Make the best of fresh blueberries and cherries in a tasty cupcake topped with cream cheese frosting, fresh blueberries, and red fruit leather. Let the kids have fun decorating the cupcakes. The fruit leather resembles the stripes on the American flag while the blueberries become the stars. For the rest of the year, simply dot with blueberries or cherries. Small blueberries are best for decorating...."
