My favorite for all-around awesome is the Red, White & Blue Cake made with Red Velvet and Blue Velvet cakes, and the traditional Cream Cheese Frosting.

The cake is beautiful, but for those who don't quite have the time commitment it would require, there are also so many cute Fourth of July desserts made with Jell-o.
Look at these choices:
Brown Eyed Baker has Stained Glass Jell-o
Taste of Home has Red, White & Blue Jell-o Cubes:
And last, here are two options that combine both cake and Jell-o, (which admittedly, probably look better than they taste):
Kraft's Patriotic Poke Cake:
And the Patriotic Quilt "Cake"
Do you have a favorite July Fourth dessert? Would love to hear your recipes!
For lots more ideas, check out all the July Fourth posts and the Red, White and Blue Pinterest Board I made.
Yum! I'd love to make the patriotic quilt cake. But I'd probably have to eat the whole thing myself. Kids (and huz) would prefer one of the patriotic Jell-o treats. Would you believe I've never ever made Jell-o from the box? Weird, I know.
ReplyDeleteOh yummo... the quilt cake!
ReplyDeleteAnd would you believe, I've never made jello for my children (red 40 sensitivity)! Wonder if there's a natural version of jello? They'd love those stained glass stars!
i have clear gelatin. i am going to try and make a fruit juice flavored/colored version and will let you know if it works.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how it goes; I'm really interested to see if that will work!!
ReplyDeleteWe avoid lots of items b/c of the Red 40 issue - my DD breaks out in big hives.
But depriving my kiddos of jello seems somehow anti-american. ;)
Yummy. I remember my mom used to make a cake that you added Jello too. Very unique taste!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great holiday ideas.
Love all these ideas. Thanks so much for sharing on Momtrends and have a great 4th!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas!
ReplyDeleteI SOOOOOO wish I hadn't seen that damned delicious red-and-blue velvet cake recipe!!! Will be sure to tweet you the resulting picture of me bursting out of my bathing suit at the town pool in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteThat first cake is gorgeous. Love the other ideas too - but the first one rocks it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up for this amazing cake! You're featured on my blog today!
