Kick off summer the right way with a stellar Memorial Day cookout, barbecue, or neighborhood get-together.  It’s the perfect time to gather with family and friends to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and to bask in the growing warmth of the season.  While the traditional cookout menu usually includes classics like hot dogs and hamburgers, we’re more inclined towards desserts.  We’ve curated a list of crowd-pleasing patriotic masterpieces just for you.

Patriotic Memorial Day Desserts

Red, White & Blue Kringle

Nothing screams patriotic like the colors red, white, and blue.  From flags to table settings to centerpieces, a Memorial Day picnic is sure to feature this color scheme.  Our Red, White & Blue Kringle is among the most delicious options in our repertoire of red, white, and blue Memorial Day desserts.  Featuring Wisconsin cream cheese, Door County cherries, and blueberries from Maine, it’s a true celebration of American flavors.

All of our Kringles comfortably serve 12-18 people depending on the size of the slices, making them the perfect addition to any summer cookout.  During the warmer months, it’s ideal to refrigerate your kringle upon delivery to ensure it stays fresh until the big day.  Don’t forget to consult our helpful guide on how to eat and serve kringle for day-of preparations.

Flag Layer Cake

Instantly become the hero of the barbecue with our show-stopping Flag Layer Cake.  Not only is this cake adorned with an American flag across the top, but each slice resembles the flag itself.  The way we layer our red and blue cake with white icing creates a beautiful effect for a unique Memorial Day dessert.

This delicious cookout dessert serves up to 15 people, making it perfect for any Memorial Day gathering.  We ship nationwide and securely package the cake in a dry ice container to ensure it stays cool and in perfect condition, even in the hottest climates.  Feel free to store the cake in either the freezer or refrigerator until the party.  It can be kept in the fridge for several days and still remain fresh.  To thaw the cake, we recommend placing it in the fridge or at room temperature for at least 6 hours before serving.

Rhubarb Kringle

April through June is rhubarb season, and we couldn’t resist using this iconic fruit to make it into a kringle.  Our Rhubarb Kringle is constantly requested by our customers throughout the year, but our finest ingredients shine when the rhubarb season is in full swing.  While the season is short, this quintessentially summertime kringle brings a burst of flavor to last all summer long.  Be sure to get this dessert before it bids farewell for another year.

Strawberry Rhubarb Bread Pudding

Want a unique dessert to bring to the potluck?  This crowd pleaser is sure to steal the show.  Our Strawberry Rhubarb bread pudding combines ripe strawberries and tart rhubarb pieces, topped with crumbly streusel.  With a serving size of 13, this dessert can effortlessly serve a large crowd during summer.

OHLAF TIP:  Heat up the bread pudding for a few minutes in the oven and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an elevated dessert experience!

Apple Kringle

A classic Memorial Day cookout dessert is apple pie, and we’ve put a Danish twist on this American classic with our Apple Kringle.  Even the pickiest of eaters will gladly grab a second helping of this dessert.  Our scratch-made filling of crisp apples with cinnamon makes it an instant hit.  When sliced, kringle is the perfect finger food.
