With 3 birthdays in our family throughout the month of June… The 4th of July always sneeks up on me! I can’t believe we are just days away from beautiful displays of fireworks and sparkler fun! To celebrate, I came up with these fabulous cupcakes that are filled with “exploding” pop rocks and topped with candy sparklers! They make such a pretty display for a patriotic event!
