As we’re all gearing up for a fabulous long weekend, I thought I would share a few last minute ideas for desserts:
- American flag cupcakes- I dreamed these up last year for our July 4 family gathering. They were a huge hit, especially with the kids.
- Berry Lemon Cheesecake Squares from Pillsbury – all I can say here is YUM!
- Patriotic Cookie Pizza from Pillsbury – I can see my boys helping out with this one. It has two of their favorite ingredients, blueberries and cookies! {smirk}
And a few DIY decorating ideas:
- Flag banner from Martha Stewart and July 4 banner from Better Homes and Gardens - attach fabric (with stiffener) or colorful cardstock to ribbon and you have a fun and easy decoration
- Bunting from Better Homes and Gardens – I love how easy this is, a piece of fabric and ties!
- Patriotic pinwheels in tin watering cans from Better Homes and Gardens – I just have a thing for pinwheels!
Have a safe and fun holiday everyone!
