To make this a little more patriotic to celebrate the 4th of July, swap the rainbow sprinkles for a red, white and blue variety in both the cake and what's used to decorate the whipped cream. We used food-grade sparklers on top for some extra pizazz. Be sure to use food-grade sparklers; regular ones will leave a residue on the whipped cream that is not safe to eat.
The Fourth of July is a traditional time to celebrate America's birthday with friends and family. This recipe collection is full of all-American red, white & blue desserts plus juicy burgers and the perfect sides to make a meal.
