The high temperatures last week made it feel more like the middle of summer than the beginning and I must say there was not much baking going on during the days of the record breaking temperatures. Thankfully by the 4th of July the weather had cooled down a little which helped in the kitchen. I tried to limit the baking but could not resist making a few fun things to serve over the weekend.
A small batch of mini Bundt cakes were easy to make and since we had extra they were also fun to give away.
Homemade cinnamon rolls are a must on weekends, especially when the kids are home.
However, I also made a small batch of raspberry pastry squares since they are rather festive and always delicious.
We love cheese so it was in the mix as well.
A red, white and blue Strawberry Meringue Cake was also on the menu.
After the strawberries were placed on top I thought it needed a little something else so I added a few blueberries and a little flag to make it even more festive. Easy, peasy!
Happy Wednesday!
