I ALWAYS associate this amazing holiday with the obvious...our country's independence, but in the last few years I began adding food to my list of great ways to celebrate. There are some fun, creative things to make food special and festive. I enjoy the doing part of the cooking/baking and I hope my kids look back fondly at my efforts in creating awesome memories for them.
Red, White and Blue Strawberries...could these be any more fun?? I melted white chocolate chips, dipped the strawberries in the chocolate and then waited until it almost formed a hard shell then dipped them again in the blue sprinkles. So obviously festive and incredibly easy!!
4th of July cake!! It requires a white, or in my case vanilla, cake mix. Separate one cup of batter into a small bowl, add red food coloring. Repeat only blue food coloring. Carefully pour into your pan and bake per directions. Then with the ready made tub frosting, separate into thirds, heat each bowl for 15 seconds, add red and blue food coloring to the frosting. Pour in into three separate small ziploc bags, snip the small corner off and drizzle. Lastly, add sprinkles!! This cake idea has endless possibilities for every holiday...can't wait for Halloween!!
And when you cut into it...WOWZERS....this is the fun you get!
And of course no holiday would be complete without a fancy hair do for my girls. Hannah's style has worked awesome with all the swimming she is doing. Add a bow and band and bam...it is festive to the max. She is just tickled today with this style. I have other stuff for the other girls...more picture to follow.
Have a blessed holiday!!! God bless America!
