FRUITY 4th of July Desserts
July 4th is the perfect time of year to enjoy fruit-themed desserts. Pies are the all-star in this category! You can make full-size pies with stars on top or miniature pies for serving to a crowd. I also love fruit skewers for a healthier dessert option.
This blueberry star pie (above) is my favorite fruity Fourth of July dessert! It’s blueberry but the star technique could easily be used on other pie flavors (cherry, apple, etc) too! Get the recipe for this gorgeous patriotic pie here! Check out more fruity patriotic desserts…

If you’re looking for a healthier 4th of July dessert for the adults and the kids, these Fourth of July fruit pops from my friend Naomi at Bakers Royale will do the trick! I love how cute they look on paper straws! These are also a great last-minute treat too (no baking required – woohoo!). See details here.
Cake-Themed 4th of July Desserts
Everybody loves cake and what better way to celebrate America’s birthday than with a cake-themed 4th of July dessert?!
- I made this 4th of July Sparkler Cake (above) last year, and it truly couldn’t be easier. You can even jazz up a store bought cake or pie with the same concept. I just love sparklers! See the full post and details here.
- American Flag Cake
- Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes
- Red, white and ruffle, y’all! How cute are these 4th of July cupcakes from Bakerella? She walks you through exactly how to make these adorable chocolate cupcakes right here!

Kid-Friendly 4th of July Desserts
The whole family will love these sweet options, but definitely the little ones!
The kids will absolutely LOVE these cute red, white, and blue firecracker Jell-O cups! Isn’t this such a cute 4th of July dessert? I love the stripes and what little one doesn’t love Jell-O? These would be cute made in mini size too (you know how I love mini desserts)!
If you’ll be beating the heat for the 4th of July this year, then ice cream is a must! Keep it cute with dipped waffle cones and lots of red, white and blue sprinkles! I love these patriotic cones from Noble Pig. Set up a full sundae bar with all the toppings (blueberries, cherries and white chocolate chips would be festive additions!). Get more details on these here.

I have been a dedicated fan for who knows how long and say I am trying this but…have yet to do so. I am making something this weekend? What should I make? I am thinking the pie but with strawberries and peaches in a rustic wrap around pizza-ish type shell. Yes I just need to ingredients. Maybe a lemon cake?
All those options sound delicious! I like the strawberries and peaches in a rustic wrap!
Thank you, the cake is beautiful, I’m trying to make it for my sister’s 14th birthday. Hope it will like it, thank you
