I usually make Sand Dessert every 4th. You can google it. It's made with pudding & vanilla wafers. It's awesome. I usually make it in a pale and serve with the shovel. I also an umbrella on top and whatever other crafty "beach stuff" I can find. Everyone loves it!

classic 4th of july flag cake (pioneer woman)

oreo truffles dipped in white chocolate with red & blue sprinkles or sugar
