    Frost cupcakes with red frosting. Place yellow frosting in resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off small corner of plastic bag, and pipe a diamond-shaped emblem on top of each cupcake. Place blue frosting in another resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off small corner of plastic bag, and pipe letter or number in center of each diamond shape.

  • Use your favorite cake mix, such as chocolate or white, in place of the yellow cake mix.
  • If desired, decorate some of the cupcakes with lightening-bolt shape instead of diamond-shaped superhero emblem.
