I love the Fourth of July. My sister in law has started the tradition of hosting a party at her house where we can all enjoy the fireworks from her backyard. This year I signed up for desserts, so I'll share with you the three treats I made. I also made a hostess gift for her annual party decor.
First, I wanted to make marshmallow lollipops for all the kids. I had left over straws from Micah's aqua and orange
airplane party, so I used those to hold some marshmallows dipped in blue melting chocolate. My red sugar and gel icing aren't the prettiest, but it will do for the kiddos.
I also made a monster-sized trifle using angel food cake drizzled in sweetened, condensed milk, vanilla pudding, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, and topped in whipped cream.
Finally, I BOUGHT (yes, not everything is made from scratch) a chocolate Costco cake and made it cute with bunting. I'll display it on a white, ruffled cake stand at the party.
I thought it would be fun to add to my sister in law's Fourth of July decor, so I made her a canvas sign in red, whites and blues. I sponge stamped some stars for the background and then cut out some paper for the writing since I was out of vinyl. I just glued it onto the canvas. Cute!
Have a fantastic, blessed Fourth of July!
