AMERICANA FRUIT TRIFLE! 

There are lots of variations on this classic but I thought I would share MY recipe with you today. You just need to know a couple things though . . .it is super EASY and it's super delish . . . if you are okay with both of those things then you are good to go! ;)

Here's the recipe for Americana Fruit Trifle:

its soooooo QUICK & SIMPLE . . . This is it!

 Ingredients:

~ 1 {big} tub of cool whip

~ 1 angel food cake

~ strawberries & blueberries

I broke up the pieces of angel food cake, dropped them in the trifle bowl then repeated layers of angel food cake, whip cream, strawberries, cake, whip cream, blueberries . . . until I got to the top. Spread another layer of cool whip (to create my 'blank' canvas) made a "star" shape out of the strawberries & then filled in with the blueberries. Simple + delish!

 Here's a recipe for Americana Cupcake Cones:

 Need a super fast FUN food for the kids? They always LOVE this one!

 Ingredients:

~ box of {jumbo} size cake cones

~ {premade} cupcakes

Take the cupcake wrapper off the cupcake & pushed them down into the cones. No worries if you mess up the icing - either fix it the best you can or re-ice them. Either way - they are so CUTE, no one will care if they aren't perfect! Oh - btw - I also added some patriotic sprinkles to them to "hide" my fingerprints! heehee

Need a last minute hostess gift?

Print out this FREE Memorial Day Subway Art & stick it in a frame, reduce the size a little when you print & wrap it around a bottle of wine or . . .

a GENIUS idea that my friend Donna from Glamorous Sweet Events 

shared with me that she did:

"I just printed them & wrapped the large candy bars with it! Perfect & inexpensive hostess gift or party favor!"

Please let me know if you have a creative way to use these this weekend! I would love to hear from you!

If you still need your own print, here it is:

This print is sized for an 8 x 10 frame but could easily be enlarged to fit an 11 x 14 or whatever size you needed. Print it out at home or take it to a printer for a larger size.
