4th July sees the USA celebrate Independence Day. Here over “the pond” we want to help them celebrate and what better way than through food!
Did you know Independence day is commonly associated with barbecuing, cold beer, family picnics, crumbly strawberry shortcakes and all the hot dogs you can eat!
And in recent years the theme of red white and blue food has gone Pinterest crazy. Check out our favourite ideas below.

We love this idea because it’s seriously simple, just bake square cookies, cover in icing or frosting and use M&Ms or even smarties to create your flag. A perfect job for little helpers!
