A cake in a glass baing dish that is decorated with berries to look like an American Flag.

Independence Day, or the Fourth of July, is coming up. It's time to get out the picnic-safe salad recipes and clean the grill. While you're at it, don't forget the patriotic desserts! Here are some ideas on what you can do to end your Fourth of July meal with a bang!

1. Here's a neat idea from Imperial Sugar, with a recipe and everything.
2.I know I said cakes, but these patriotic Jello creations are worth a mention!
3. A beautiful flag from Cakeism.
4. Dish'n'That has a fun example for you.
5.How about flag cupcakes?
6. This one from a Chick Chat contest is awesome. You have to scroll down a bit, but it's the topsy turvy, multi-tiered one from RockStarMommy.
7. No instructions on this rice crispy treat flag, but I'm sure you could figure it out!
8. How about something a little different? An Uncle Sam Ice cream cone, perhaps?

Create a red, white and blue sorbet! Use strawberries for the red, blueberries for the blue and coconut for the white.

Here's a quick and easy Strawberry Sorbet recipe (using only fruit, agave nectar and water!) to help you get started.

Enjoy!
