The 4th of July is coming up and my boys are so excited. I’m excited about barbecues, parties, yummy food, and red, white, and blue desserts. They are excited about the Fourth of July fireworks. It’s all about being safe and having a good time. Somehow everything will all come together.
But for me, it’s all about the food and decor. I love fun projects that bring celebrations alive. And I definitely have a sweet tooth. So, I’m on a mission to find an easy red, white and blue dessert, like an American Flag cake or white cupcakes with red and blue sprinkles. I love anything with fresh strawberries like strawberry shortcake.
