Here's how you make them:
Make your white cake batter and divide into thirds. Use food coloring to make one bowl red and one bowl blue.
Spoon batter into decorating bags.
Use twist ties to secure the tops.
Tape the bags together at the bottom with masking tape.
These are served in little candy cups. I couldn't find any without a wax lining, so I just baked mine in regular muffin liners and then, when cool, removed the liners and plopped them into the candy cups.
Take a deep breath and cross your fingers. Now you need to snip off the ends and squeeze gently using a back and forth motion to fill your muffin cups. By some miracle, it actually worked.
Voila! Tri-color cupcakes!
Peel off the cupcake liners and drop the cupcakes into the candy cups.
Sorry no pics of the icing process for some reason, even though there were 200 of the previous steps. Divide your white vanilla frosting into thirds and again dye some red and blue. Pipe the white frosting onto the middle and top with white sugar crystals. Then do the same for the red and blue frosting with red and blue sugar crystals. Sprinkle a few extra white sugar crystals on top of the entire thing to make it look extra icy. Garnish with a little wooden ice cream spoon and you're done!
