4th of July cookouts need red white and blue desserts. I posted an idea a couple weeks ago for a 4th of July Cupcake Flag. There are several other great 4th of July dessert recipes out there.
One of the all time favorites is the 4th of July flag cake made with strawberries and blueberries. Sandy at All Holiday Cafe has links to several versions of the 4th of July flag cake.
If you’re looking for something different here are 10 more 4th of July, red white and blue dessert ideas:
- Use a star cupcake pan or mold, to make jello stars in red and blue gelatin.
- Fruit and Yogurt Parfait or Trifle with blueberries and strawberries
- Independence Day Pops

- Red White and Blueberry Cheesecake

I love it that the 4th of July comes just when strawberrry season is winding down and blueberry season is winding up! Love to make the flag cake, or a round one using a cheesecake. Love your ideas!
Thanks for the link. I am in continual awe of your baking skills.
Wow, I found your blog on Hershey’s and was so sorry I didn’t get to submit a recipe.
Great Blog….. you know parties….. we make parties memorable with Awesome Balloon Creations!
Thanks for sharing.
Linette, I don’t know how you find all these great recipes and resources. Thank you for making party-planning easier for all of us.
Thanks everyone:)
Susan, I love this time of year too. I’m a big strawberry and blueberry fan, there’s so much you can do with that combination. It’s the perfect summer, Fourth of July color mix.
