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!
