Red, White & Blue Desserts

July 1, 2014 by Carrie Sellman

With the Fourth of July holiday almost upon us, I thought we’d have a little red, white and blue fun today. We’re taking a look at some of my favorite patriotic desserts from the blog and around the web.  Each one of these recipes is perfectly suited for Independence Day and is just begging for you to give-it-a-go this week.  So as you line your fence with stars and stripes, prepping for some good old fashioned flag waving and firework gazing, make sure your plans include one of these delicious recipes!  Here’s eight Red, White and Blue Desserts you can make at home…8 Red, White & Blue Desserts you can make for July 4th | on TheCakeBlog.com

Wishing you a safe and happy Independence Day!  I’d love to hear what you’re up to this weekend!
