I've decided to call these cupcakes Patriotic Swirl Cupcakes instead of "______ Of July Cupcakes". Yea - I'm avoiding that holiday right now and pretending it's not really just two weeks out. It's not that I don't enjoy the "______ Of July", in fact I love it! We're just now completing our first full week of summer break and I can not express how much I've really enjoyed it.
