Have a blast with ice cream sandwiches!

(These are made with Strawberry Lemonade Cookies and P atriotic Jimmies.)

You can have a ton of fun with ice cream sandwiches. It's simple to make them like those above, simply two cookies with ice cream smashed in the middle.

To make the others, use a pizza roller to roll sugar cookies out in a pan lined with parchment paper. Bake the whole sheet and then cut them into rectangles to make sandwiches.

These were dipped in chocolate and then sprinkled with crushed candy pieces.

What a cool way to make your own carbonated soda pop!

When we were kids, we made homemade root beer with yeast. The yeast created the carbon dioxide bubbles in the beverage.

There is an easier way—dry ice which you can buy at many grocery stores.

Stop the parade with a flag cake!

It takes a little cutting and coloring but it's not hard.

Our cream cake mixes are perfect for this.

Made any red, white, and blue cookies lately!

Take these to the party!

You can mix the pinwheel ahead of time. Then all you have to do is slice and bake.
