Patriotic Skewers
What You'll Need
- 1 store-bought or homemade pound cake, cut into ¾-inch to 1-inch cubes - Or you can do marshmellows
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved - Or Raspberry
- 1 cup fresh blueberries - Or Blackberrys
- Wooden skewers or toothpicks
- Whipped cream, whipped topping, or cream cheese fruit dip for serving
How to Make Them
1. Prep the Fruit & Cake
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries and blueberries. Cut the pound cake into bite-sized cubes.
2. Build Your Skewers
Thread the strawberries, blueberries, and pound cake onto the wooden skewers, alternating the ingredients to create a festive red, white, and blue pattern.
There's no right or wrong way to assemble them—just have fun with it!
You can even make a flag with them. If you use about 4 Skewers with the blueberrys on top and alternate the strawberry and pound cake and the rest of the skewers will only alternate red and white!
3. Serve & Enjoy
Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter and serve with a bowl of whipped cream, whipped topping, or your favorite cream cheese fruit dip.
For an extra-festive presentation, arrange the skewers on a platter in a starburst pattern or add a few extra blueberries and strawberries around the edges.
