\"\"<\/a>Festive Cake
\n<\/strong>Celebrate Memorial Day with this simple but festive cake.\u00a0 It\u2019s a layer of cheesecake sandwiched between two layers of vanilla cake that have been colored using a little gel paste.\u00a0\u00a0 Simply mix your favorite vanilla cake recipe in your KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer<\/a> and add blue gel paste to half of the batter, and red paste to the other half. \u00a0Pour into the cake pans from the Cuisinart Chef\u2019s Classic Nonstick Bakeware 4-Piece Starter Set<\/a> and bake as directed in your KitchenAid 12\u201d Convection Countertop Oven<\/a> instead of heating up the kitchen with your full-size oven.\u00a0 Once baked on a cooling rack, frost the top of the red layer and place a frozen cheesecake on top.\u00a0 Top the cheesecake layer with a layer of frosting, and add the blue cake layer.\u00a0 Frost the entire cake and cover with red, white and blue sprinkles.<\/p>\n

Red, White & Blue Smoothies
\n<\/strong>Whip up these refreshing smoothies in your Ninja Professional Blender<\/a> for a yummy way to cool down while the kids are running around in the sprinklers.\u00a0 These aren\u2019t just patriotic layers of crushed ice, they are healthy layers of energizing fruits, yogurt, juice and other healthy ingredients. Play around with this triple berry recipe to make your smoothies as sweet or as tangy as you choose.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPatriotic Popcorn
\n<\/strong>Who doesn\u2019t love popcorn? Who can turn down chocolate?\u00a0 So why not combine the two favorites and make some chocolate covered popcorn for your Memorial Day get-together?\u00a0 Of course it should be red, white and blue melting chocolate to help tie in your theme, and the easiest way to create this snacking masterpiece is to pop your popcorn in the Presto PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper<\/a> and drizzle the chocolate you melted in your RCA Microwave Oven<\/a> right over the top. Viola! The perfect snack!<\/p>\n

Not Your Average Ice Cream Cone
\n<\/strong>What\u2019s a kick off to summer cookout without ice cream?\u00a0 You\u2019re not hosting your average BBQ, so why serve your ice cream in an average, plain cone?\u00a0 Instead, make it a fun activity for the kids. Let them dip the tops of the cones in shallow bowls of melted chocolate followed by a variety of Patriotic sprinkles.\u00a0 Fun, tasty and cute all rolled up into one.<\/p>\n

Watermelon Bowl
\n<\/strong>The staple of every cookout is watermelon.\u00a0 Well, this year, try using the hollowed out watermelon as a serving bowl for your drink.\u00a0 You can even make a drink from the watermelon\u2019s juice. You can cut off the top third of an oblong seedless watermelon and scooping out the flesh.\u00a0 Puree watermelon in a Cuisinart Food Processor<\/a> from Buydig.com and pour back into the rind.\u00a0 Cover with plastic wrap and chill for an hour.\u00a0 Add 3 cups of seltzer and serve.<\/p>\n

Cookie Flag
\n<\/strong>It\u2019s all in the presentation when it comes to serving your favorite cut out cookies at this party.\u00a0 Get your kids involved the day before! Make enough red, white and blue star shaped cookies to create this edible version of Old Glory.<\/p>\n
