Add blue food coloring to mustard to make Red (ketchup), White (Mayo) and Blue (Mustard) Hotdogs! For the kids... Firework Dogs! ![]() TREATS!
First of all, this BATTER HACK will change the baking game for you...
Add different color batter to piping bags to make endless treat possibilities. Any colors, anytime! Apply same pressure when squeezing for precise designs and mixing.
I saw this Firecracker Cake Recipe this morning on the News. No Doubt the kids will go MENTAL for these! Easy enough too. Below is the She Knows, Tutorial. The News used chopsticks to make a hole in the center for the poprocks, that seems MUCH easier than cutting out little circles.
Simple, Easy, Healthy, American Flag pretzel and fruit party tray
This Independence day ice cream sandwich is easy beyond easy. The hard part will be keeping the kids from eating these treats while making them. It's just store bought ice cream sandwiches rolled in red, white and blue store bought sprinkles. Done.

Star Shaped Iced Shortbread Cookies with Strawberries and blueberries is YUM YUM YUM. A girlfriend made this Festive Shortbread dessert for my party last year. SO GOOD. She used circle shortbread cookies, cream cheese frosting and sliced strawberries and blueberries. It wasn't all star-fancy but the plate was still beautiful and tasted yummy! Go that route if all this star stuff overwhelms you.
