Happy 236th birthday, America. You look pretty good for an old broad. To celebrate; strawberry “shortcake” cupcakes for the 4th of July; vanilla cupcakes stuffed with chopped fresh strawberries (after baking; cut a hole out of each cake & fill with chopped strawberries), topped with fresh whipped cream and more fresh sliced strawberries. And of course- little American flags & pinwheels.

O beautiful, for soft whipped cream
On moist & tender cake
For bright red berries majesties
Atop the fruited cakes
America, America,
Bakers shed thy grace on thee
And crown thy cakes with buttercream
From sea to shining sea

Take it easy today, my fellow Yanks. If you choose to light fireworks, don’t blow any appendages off. And don’t drink too much.
Remember what today is really about, and please remember our soldiers who’d give anything to be home watching fireworks explode instead of roadside bombs.
