Food

No party is a good party without food! Here are some food ideas to consider for your 4th of July party.

1. BBQ bar

Who doesn’t like BBQ on a hot summer day? Fire up the grill and get to cooking! A BBQ bar allows your guests to make their own BBQ-filled plate. You can grill mini hamburgers, mini cheeseburgers, hot dogs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and so much more! Aside from the meats, don’t forget to provide rolls, buns and of course a selection of condiments!

What you’ll need

  • red, white and blue sprinkles
  • sparklers

Making the cake

  1. Use the instructions on the box to create the cake batter. Add in a few tablespoons of sprinkles to color the cake.
  2. After baked, ice the cake and then add sprinkles around the entire cake. Add sparklers to the top and voila!

3. Fruit pizza

Drinks

An outdoor party on a warm day means drinks will be much needed!
