These are decorations that I’ve made or bought over the years.

I made a Banana Cake with Cream Cheeses Frosting and the Bunting/Banner is made from different colored Papers.

Firework Dessert Kabobs

I made these from seeing them at melskitchencafe

I just used a Brownie Mix to make the Brownies and I tried out my new Brownie Maker and it takes about the same time to bake as it does in the oven but you don’t have to heat up the kitchen.

This is 2 packages of Berry Blue Kool-Aid, 2 cups Sugar and 1/2 liter of Lemon Lime Soda. Mix and put in container.

*You can find the “Printables” for the licorice at skiptomylou

*The cans are recycled food cans wrapped with fabrics, headbands, paper and ribbon.

*The recipe to the Jars of Colorful Jello Popcorn will be posted later.

Greek Yogurt Cheese Cake Flags

This Cheesecake Crust is adapted from allrecipes and the cheesecake is too.

Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

*1 1/2 packages of Graham Cracker crushed
*8 tablespoons of Butter melted
*1/4 cup of sugar

Mix together and press into a 9 x 13 pan lined with Foil, to help lift out cheesecake to cool after baking, and spray the foil with Pam. Bake at 375*F. for 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven and top with Cheesecake Filling and Bake, see below.

Cheesecake Filling

*2 packages of Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese or low fat Cream Cheese, I used one of each at room temperature
*3/4 cup Sugar
*3 large Eggs, at room temperature
*2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
*2 teaspoons Vanilla
*1/4 teaspoon Salt

Pour filling into pre-made crust. Using a roasting pan place cheesecake in roasting pan, fill roasting pan with 1/2 inch water and bake for 25 minutes at 325*F. Remove Cheesecake from oven and lift out the cheesecake with the foil to put on a cooling rack to cool. Cut into rectangular shapes. I cut into eight flag shapes.

Decorate just before serving.

For Decorating:

* I used 32 Blueberries, if yours are small you might need more.
*Seedless Raspberry Jelly, or we used homemade Strawberry Coulis.

We made this for the 4th of July but I must say this is the best Cheesecake if you don’t want a heavy type cheesecake and it really has a great taste.

Cheesecake Filling

I know this picture is little out order. This is to show how the foil should look before putting graham cracker crust mixture getting it ready to bake.

This is also a picture of how the mixed cheesecake filling should look.

The top two pictures are unbaked and the bottom two are finished baking and cut into rectangles. I didn’t have a roasting pan, so I improvised with flat roasting pan and I wouldn’t recommend it it spills and you could get burned.
