# 22 - Make a new recipe a month - July

In honor of the 4th of July I decided to make some flag cupcakes I saw on Real Simple.  I have never made cupcakes or frosting from scratch before but this was too cute to pass up and the recipe wasn't too intimidating.  I prefer baking to cooking anyway so I really enjoyed making these.  Lauren helped place the fruit on top and arrange it into a flag.  These will definitely be an annual dessert.

I used blueberries, raspberries and coconut flakes for the toppings.
