Flag Day, an unofficial federal holiday in the United States, is celebrated annually on June 14th to commemorate the adoption of our nation’s flag in 1777. This day falls between Memorial Day and Independence Day and has been celebrated for over a century. To date, there have been 27 official versions of the American flag, which now contains 50 stars representing the 50 states and 13 stripes symbolizing the original colonies.
To honor Flag Day, consider making one of these festive recipes with a red, white, and blue aesthetic:
1. Flag Cookie Cake: Impress your guests by placing a homemade or store-bought cookie cake at the center of the table. After baking the cookie, let it cool for an hour before adding a thick layer of buttercream frosting. Use fresh strawberries to create the stripes of the flag, leaving one row of frosting white between each stripe. Add fresh blueberries to create the stars portion of the flag.
2. Pound Cake Trifle: Create a refreshing summer dessert by layering sliced pound cake, whipped cream, and fresh berries in a trifle dish. Finish the dessert by sifting powdered sugar on top of any exposed fruit.
3. Red, White, and Blue Charcuterie: Arrange a platter of colorful fruits and veggies for your guests. Recommended items include blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon, red grapes, sliced red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, crackers, peanuts, ranch dressing, and fruit dip. Consider creating an American flag shape with your arrangement.
Whether you’re throwing a party or attending one, celebrate Flag Day with one of these festive recipes!
