American Flag Watermelon Kebabs

This American flag “cake” will be the star of your Memorial Day or July 4th barbecue or picnic—and it’s easy enough that the kids can help make it! Here’s how to make an American flag “cake” with fruit kebobs.

Ingredients

Seedless watermelon, cut into 1” cubes
1 package fresh, washed blackberries
1 angel food cake, cut into 1” cubes (white part only)
12 wooden skewers
Dips of your choice

Directions

Thread 5 blackberries on five skewers, followed by alternating cake and watermelon cubes (end with watermelon).
Alternate watermelon and cake on the remaining skewers, so that the first and last cubes are both watermelon. The fruit and cake will create stripes when lined properly with red stripes at the top and bottom.
Serve with your favorite dips. Try red, white and blue yogurt dips—or chocolate, caramel or marshmallow for a super sweet tooth.
