    Clean and empty soup can with no lip
    Cake mix
    White, red and blue frosting
    Sprinkles, optional

    Clean out empty soup cans and grease well with shortening and flour. Prepare cake mix and pour into cans about 2/3 full. Bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool. With a knife loosen cake from edges of can and cake should slide out. Decorate sides and top of cake as desired.

In the top left corner place rows of blueberries. Align strawberries on the top row. Place white frosting in a ziploc bag and cut the corner off. (or use a pastry bag) Squeeze white frosting after the strawberry row. Fill cake rows alternating rows of strawberries and rows of white frosting to resemble the red and white stripes on an American flag.

    Sparkler Cupcakes
    Cupcakes
    White Frosting
