4th of July BBQ
I'm looking for a 4th of July themed dessert that I can have at my BBQ. Anyone have any good ideas of something that is not too complicated to make?
Re: 4th of July BBQ
Ive seen a giant sugar cookie, covered in creme cheese frosting and then decorated with blue berries and strawberries/raspberries to look like the american flag....
...or i've seen these jello cups, but they'd be a little more difficult for an outdoor party because theyd need to be chilled... use red jello alternated with cool whip in a clear cup to create stripes and then chill.... sprinkle with blueberries for a topping...
ta-da!! yay fourth of july!!
What's "too complicated"? I make a raspberry-blueberry pie with stars cut out of the top crust every year that's a huge hit.
If there are kids, I've seen rice krispie treats decorated with red and blue mini M&Ms.
Star shaped sugar cookies with colored sugar.
Pound cake with blueberry sauce and/or whipped cream.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
marthastewart.com has a great recipe for a 4th of july shortcake that is delicious and beautiful. it's made in 2 rounds instead of individuals, and has you cut stars out of the top with a cookie cutter so the strawberries and blueberries spill out the top and it is assembled like a cake.
Last year I make Kraft's "Wave Your Flag" cheesecake (on their website) - sorry I can't do the clicky thing) - and decorated it with strawberries and blueberries in the shape of a Peace sign. it was a big hit.
My wish for patriotic holidays is to bring our troops home!
I am making these two and still looking for some cupcake ideas:
