America has set aside certain days to honor the county or those who have served in the military. Desserts with a patriotic theme are always appropriate on Independence, Memorial, and Veteran's Day. These festive treats can also be used when someone is leaving to join the military life or coming back home. Patriotism goes far deeper than the military, though. These desserts are usually welcome at any gathering as a reminder of the freedoms the country promises its people.

A multi-layered cake is always appropriate for a desert and it is easy to make with a patriotic theme. Three 9-inch round layers are needed. Starting with a basic white cake mix add a half-cup of blueberry or grape preserves to the wet ingredients for one pan. Add a half-cup of cherry preserves to the second. Leave the third as is. When the cakes have cooked and cooled, then stack the layers with the blueberries on the bottom and the cherries on the top. You can add appropriate food coloring to the white frosting to further decorate the cake.

A sheet cake is easy to make, and decorating it to look like the American flag just takes little time and effort. After the cake is cooled, frost it with basic white frosting. In the upper left hand corner, press whole or half blueberries into the frosting in the shape of a rectangle. Add several rows of half cherries or strawberries to mimic the red stripes on a flag. The white icing serves as the white stripes, or you can put banana circles in a line to keep up the fruity theme. Add some excitement to the cake by scattering edible glitter over the top to look like fireworks

Everyone loves ice cream for dessert, and adding a patriotic theme is easy. Allow a carton each of vanilla, strawberry, and blueberry ice cream to soften slightly. Have your parfait glasses lined up, and add a scoop of the blueberry ice cream to the bottom. Finish it with scoops of vanilla and strawberry in each glass. Alternatively, you can alternate flavored vanilla yogurt with the fruit and fill the glass the same way. Shaved ice works well also, with cherry and blueberry soda flavoring the ice and adding color.

A quick and easy foundation for dozens of desserts is to blend a package of softened sweet cream cheese with chopped up strawberries or cherries and blueberries. A dessert can be as simple as spreading the mix over graham crackers or making graham cracker filled cookies with the cheese as the filling. The cheese and fruit spread can top cupcakes and small tortes. If you use enough to fill a large bowl, you can make it even easier on yourself and allow the guests to use it as a dessert dip. Mix in a little brown sugar and vanilla extract with the cheese or add whatever appeals to you. A little bit of rum or brandy makes it more of an adult dessert. Provide plenty of sturdy scooping materials, such as hard cookies or apple and pear slices.

Many patriotic holidays take place in summer, when people roast marshmallows over an open flame. Make this summertime tradition patriotic by filling a bowl large enough to hold the marshmallow about two thirds full of water. Add either blue or red food coloring. The more you add the deeper the color comes out. Submerge the marshmallows and put another bowl on top to keep them from floating to the surface. After two or three minutes, lift the top bowl and stir the water so the marshmallows get evenly coated. Remove them after eight to nine minutes. Prepare the next batch with another color, and then let them dry on paper towels overnight. Brush them lightly with cornstarch the next day to remove the sticky feeling, and they are ready to roast.

Elaborate desserts are challenging to make, but simple desserts give you the time to do other necessary things for a party or celebration. There is no need to spend hours in prep and cooking for these five treats. They are designed with children in mind, and having young hands help when it's time to make them is a large part of the enjoyment. They may not turn out perfect in that case, but if they were made with love, all the better.
