July 4th

This was kind of a last minute tart/cheesecake creation. I spent the long 4th of July weekend with my family staying in cabins and relaxing by the lake. At about midnight on the 3rd I decided we needed a dessert to celebrate the holiday! This was actually really easy and a variation of this Kraft recipe. The star is a little crooked but it's still festive!

Red, White, & Blue Cookies

I had some leftover cookie dough from a dessert I made last week so I wanted to make some fun cookies for the 4th of July.

4th of July Cupcakes

I was asked to make 3 dozen cupcakes for the 4th of July weekend.  I wanted to add a little holiday flare to the different flavors, especially these red velvet cupcakes.  Instead of regular white cream cheese frosting I swirled it with red, white, and blue and added a little pinwheel.   Very patriotic!!

 Turtle cupcakes with a sparkler!

 Raspberry white chocolate - red, white, and blue!
