Red Velvet Fauxstess Cupcakes with Swirled Glaze for the 4th of July

Hey Peeps!  4th of July is coming up very very soon, so I mashed up again a couple of my favs:  

1.  Red, white, and blue food (I don't know why I love tinted food so but I do) AND
2. Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes

Hostess cupcakes are my secret little indulgence - preservatives, artificial flavors, and all - sorry healthy people but I think you have to have a little bad food once in awhile or you may burst.  I'm pretty sure there is a study out there that has drawn that conclusion.

They are also red velvet because its for the Fourth of July (duh) and it keeps the red, white, and blue theme going!  Don't forget the typical hostess squiggles on top...

...and the creme filling.  Never ever forget the creme filling!

Happy Almost Weekend!
