Make one for a special event like celebrating a loved one in the military, or an upcoming election.

What kind of desserts? Well, we have some with fruit, some with ice cream, even some with Pop Rocks!

How about some fruit and cream filled trifles, or an American apple pie with a very recognizable top crust? And if it's a hot day, there are cool ice cream sandwiches and fizzy sodas.
