Blue Pop Rock Rimmed Glasses (or Blue Sugar if you can find it. Party City or Michael’s are good places to look)
- Trim any RED drink with the Blue Pop Rocks or Blue Sugar and voila a 4th of July Drink
- Rum Punch or Vodka with Cranberry Juice are good choices
Fruit Plate: (you can probably figure this one out from the picture but just incase)
- Blueberries
- Watermelon cut into star shapes with a cookie cutter
- You can also add other red fruits to the mix (Raspberry or Strawberry)
Flag Cake: (I make this every year) again I think you can figure it out by the photo but just incase.
- This can be put on top of any cake (home-made or store-bought as long as the icing is white)
- Blueberries for the “BLUE” area
- Strawberries (or Raspberries) for the “Red” area
M&M Cupcakes: if these are in too much sun or heat the color of the M&Ms might bleed so better to keep inside until dessert time:
- You can make the cupcakes or buy them
- White Icing
- Red and Blue M&Ms
- If you want to add “White” into your design…(white M&Ms if you can find them or Mini Marshmallows)
Cake Pops: This is the Easiest way to make a Cake Pop
- Buy Popems or Munchkins (Popems are less $)
- Ice them with White Icing
- Dip them in Red, White and Blue sprinkles (you can also buy the Red, White and Blue sprinkles pre mixed for multi colored cake pops)
Enjoy & Happy Fourth of July!
