DIY Patriotic Cake Bites

I feel like June rolls around and the celebrations just don't stop! We're planning and throwing graduation parties, end-of-school parties, beach parties, birthday parties, 4th of July celebrations, summertime get-togethers, and spontaneous barbecues at every turn. Summer makes for the perfect excuse to get the kids helping in the kitchen, since they're home more often, anxious to help, and usually bored. They'll never turn down the opportunity to make sweets and treats with Mom! That's why I'm thrilled to partner with Holstein Housewares to show you this fun patriotic dessert!

The Holstein Housewares FUN Cake Bite Maker makes it SO easy to whip up drool-worthy treats! My boys helped me cook these up in a jiffy one morning on our way out to a Memorial picnic lunch. Family-friendly fun and functional is what Holstein Housewares is all about, and their small kitchen appliances are just the ticket for anyone looking for high-quality novelty electrics that offer innovative and simplified homemade treats in just 7 minutes. Holstein Housewares came to be after identifying this need for small kitchen appliances that are fun and functional, but most of all, family-friendly!

I love how these appliances are made in fun, bright colors and how using them is as easy as pie. I can save time and creativity brain power whenever I use these appliances because all I need to do is plug it in. Recipes are provided, but I usually just use a basic cake box mix in these treat-makers, so prep time is drastically reduced, especially when I don't even need to pre-heat the oven. This time around I finally got smart and used a batter bottle to get just the right amount of thin batter in the holes in a short amount of time, and within minutes, I had 14 cute little cake bites to dip!

Usually, creating something Pinterest-worthy takes hours of planning and executing, but this literally took me under an hour. Just think of all the occasions where this Cake Bite Maker could come in handy! Imagine all those beautiful DIY table set ups, birthday parties, showers, and events where you can still get crafty and still get your bake on, but also being able to achieve perfection easily and flawlessly! There are endless combinations with this treat maker!

Arranging these to look like a flag seemed like the perfect dessert to take to our family Memorial Day get-together! Patriotic cake bites!

My word, were they a hit! The kids dove right in with the adults close behind.

Cake bites make such great party food because both kids and adults love them, they are just the right serving size, they are easy to grab, easy to distribute, and so fun to eat! Anything on a stick feels extra special.

Even babies would love these, you know, if they had teeth. Sorry, sweetie. Next year.

I'm excited to pull out our Cake Bites Maker for the next picnic too! This fun treat will be hard to beat, and I'm thrilled to have the maker in my kitchen! If you have a 4th of July picnic on the horizon, order your Cake Bite Maker and make up your own patriotic cake bites flag! Happy summer, everyone!
