4th of July Cupcake Flag

I was inspired to make this after seeing something similar in a Food Network magazine.
In their version, they did little pastry shells and filled them with vanilla custard, and used blueberries and strawberries to decorate the colors of the flag.
I decided to do vanilla mini-cupcakes and just use colored icing.
I did blue with white stars, and then rows of red and white for the stripes. 
I would have done more stripes to make it a little more accurate, but I ran out of red icing, so this is what I could do.
I think it turned out really cute!
And what I like best is that it's a dessert that people can just grab one of, making it less messy and easy to just set out and have people take as they want.
