Fourth of July Dessert Ideas!

Posted on July 1, 2015 by Ruthanne

Oh my, I love the fourth of July! I love the picnics, and pool parties, and cookouts, and fireworks…and the time with family!

My parents have always (like always, for as long as I can remember!) had a giant pool party for the fourth and invited our entire extended family for burgers and brats and volleyball and sunshine….and for a competitive display of our best “at home” fireworks we could find, later in the evening. I have so many fun memories of chasing fireflies and waving sparklers with my cousins (that are all grown with kids of their own now!). This year is different. For starters, mom isn’t here to orchestrate the complexities of the celebration. The house is in boxes and bags- ready to show to whomever might be interested in buying, and the pool and yard are immaculately kept. Pool toys and floats are all deflated and either sold or put away. Sometimes I sit on the back porch and watch the fireflies and remember all the laughter and fun.

I know that these times are not forever over. This year is different, but once dad settles into his new place there will be other celebrations and family times over the fourth. This year though…my heart wasn’t in the “create something new and fun” place. So instead, I thought you might enjoy a collection of some of my previous red-white-and-blue recipes.

Colorful Bundt Cake~ a recipe revisited!

Posted on June 26, 2013 by Ruthanne

Welcome back to day #3 of our fun Fourth of July week! Today, I’d like to revisit one of my favorite Halloween cakes~ and try it in red white and blue!!! It’s incredibly easy to make and the colors are just too much fun! Ready to revisit another recipe? Here we go:

This recipe was originally published on October 6, 2012.

I’ve made layered cakes before in all sorts of colors and it is SO tedious to layer everything “just so” This cake involves just pouring colors in together and baking. The patterns come out different each time and the possibilities are endless. I just love it red white and blue! The glaze on top is just pre-made frosting that has been softened in the microwave and colored with food color gels. Easy easy easy to make~ plus its so much fun to cut into and see what pattern happened inside!
