NWR - July 4th Desserts

we usually make (or buy!) pound cake or yellow cake, and homemade whipped cream (really easy: heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla in an electric mixer) and add blue berries and strawberries on top to look like a flag....cheesy, but it's a family favorite

You can put it in a flower pot or colorful ice bucket and then stick in a fake flower to complete the look.

It even tastes good!

I love making these easy strawberry shortcakes. You can even put in blueberries to make it festive. They are a huge hit.

Jello Cake is also a hit.
