Fourth of July is Oh-So Sweet!

The Valentine candy staple Sweethearts is bringing their yummy treats to our troops overseas.
 
Since May, Sweethearts has been sending care packages to troops expressing their apprecia- tion with new Red, White & You Sweethearts. The cute candies feature phrases like “Proud of U,” “Home Safe” and “Miss You.”

Until September, Sweethearts will continue to partner with the USO and bring a well-needed smile to America’s troops. For more info, visit uso.org.

Patriotic Red, White, & You Sweethearts Flag Cake
 

Sure, Fourth fireworks keep you oohing and ahhing, but this tasty treat from necco.com will keep your mouth watering! For your family’s Fourth Day celebrations, get the BFFs together to create this yummy flag-shaped cake. Oh my stars!

Ingredients:
Red, White & You Sweethearts
13” x 19” Sheet Cake (Cooled)
White Cake Icing
Blue Food Coloring (Red is optional)
Frosting Spatula
Pastry Bag
 

Frosting Your Flag Cake:
Begin by separating the icing into two bowls. In one bowl, add the blue food coloring into the white icing until the desired shade is achieved.
Use the frosting spatula to cover the entire cake with the white icing.
Fill the pastry bag with the blue icing and use this to frost the upper-left corner of the cake, marking the star section of the U.S. flag.


Decorating Your Flag Cake:
On the remaining white-frosted section of the cake, use the red Sweetheart to create the red stripes of the flag.
In the blue-frosted section of the cake, use the white Sweethearts to create the stars of the U.S. flag.
Use blue (or red) frosting on the pastry bag to create decorative border along the bottom edge of your cake.
Most importantly, enjoy Red, White & You Sweethearts’ delicious all American flavors, including strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla crème, as you create this patriotic dessert!

Red, White, & You Sweethearts are available nationwide. For more craft ideas and recipes, check out necco.com to amp up all your patriotic projects! !

****MOD**** My friend isn't allowed to have an account on your site so she asked me to ask you this question and then tell her your answer. I'm going to give you the story first. Okay, so 2 summers ago, she met this guy at camp who she really liked and he liked her, too. And they were gonna go out, but she wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend. The next school year, we were still in middle school and he was in high school. They talked when they could and they still liked each other. Before school got out, he said that when we get up to high school this school year he would go out with her since she is allowed to have a boyfriend now. But recently, he said he doesn't think it's going to work out. Her question is: if a guy says he likes me and then he says he doesn't think it will work out, does that mean he still likes me? Or not? Sorry this is so long!

 

Hey Girl its hard to say for sure, it may just mean that they havent really talked much or were able to hang out and get to know each other better on a level of a relationship. *Cara T*

sounds good, but there'll be enough deserts at my family 4th of July, and it's really nice to send sweethearts to the troups overseas, my brother's a Marine so I really like when people do stuff like this, and Marines are called warriors, fyi, there's a difference between them and everyone else. haha my brother taught me well lol. whoa this is long sorry

The cake seems good except for the candies. I don't really like Sweethearts, but it's nice of them to send things to troops overseas. The soldiers totally deserve it.
