This showstopping flag dessert combines sweet vanilla cake with colorful strawberries and blueberries for a patriotic 4th of July treat.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 20 cupcake liners into 2 (12 cup) cupcake pans. Follow the directions for the Simple Vanilla Cake recipe but instead pour batter into prepared cupcake pans, filling each cupcake about one-half to three-quarters full.
2. Bake for 18 to 21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes, comes out clean. Remove cupcakes and place on wire rack to cool before icing, about 10 minutes.

To make icing:

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese, vanilla extract and butter until smooth. Slowly add in confectioner’s sugar. Beat until sugar is thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To assemble cake:

1. Ice each cupcake.  Decorate 4 of the cupcakes with 4 rows of blueberries.  Decorate the remaining 16 cupcakes with strawberries. On each of the remaining cupcakes, place two strawberry slices side by side, in 4 rows.
2. Line iced cupcakes side by side on a large serving platter, placing the four blueberry cupcakes two over two in the upper left hand corner of the flag. Cupcakes should be grouped into 4 rows of 5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Vanilla-Yogurt Fruit Dip!

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

You’ll be sweet on this vanilla and brown sugar-scented yogurt dip, and it’s sure to help your family get their daily servings of fresh fruit. Berries, bananas, nectarines, melon, and mixed fruit go wonderfully with this delightful dip.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Place a paper coffee filter in a small strainer or filter holder set over a cup or bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the filter and let drain, refrigerated, for one hour (or more). This will drain out some of the liquid for a richer and more creamy dip. The longer you drain, the thicker the yogurt becomes. (You can omit this step if you’re in a hurry — the dip won’t be quite so thick but will still taste delicious.)
2. Dump drained yogurt into a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and vanilla, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Serve with desired fruit.

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.
