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.
