Last year I shared these Red, White and Blue Cupcakes that were a hit with my kids.
I used the same technique for Ethan’s cupcakes for his Army party.
He thought I was pretty much the coolest mom ever.
1. Make your chocolate cake mix and your white cake mix in separate bowls according to the package directions
2. Combine 1/3 of the chocolate mix and 1/3 of the white mix, then add several drops of green food coloring and mix well ’til you get the army green color you are looking for.
3. Spoon 1 heaping spoonful of each mixture into your cupcake liners.
4. Bake according to package directions
AND YOU’RE DONE!
Here are some with frosting and those plastic army men:
ENJOY!

what a great idea! I have a friend who is throwing a welcome home party for her brother who is in the military… these would be perfect!
Wow, what a great idea! I’m destined to have boys when we have kids so I’ll definitely have to pin this so I remember!
These are awesome!!!! Perfect for a boy’s party! Love this idea, I’ll have to remember it! I always seem to have a much harder time coming up with “cute” ideas for boy’s parties!
Awesome idea! And totally doable for a not-so-patient baker like me. ; )
These are a great idea! I wanted to let you know they are one of my featured posts on my blog today, come check it out!! http://cupsbykim.blogspot.com/2012/03/sweet-simple-sunday-1.html
Thanks for sharing!!

I’m going to make these for my son’s birthday. I was just wondering how many cupcakes you got from this recipe. They look so cute!!
I can’t remember exactly how many cupcakes I got, but it was just about true to the recipe on the box- if each box says you will get 24 cupcakes, I got 48 total from using 2 boxes. Hope that helps!
So this idea totally saved me!! So simple!! I am having a military themed baby shower and the girl who was making the cupcakes couldn’t do it for me! This is amazing! Can’t wait to try it!!
