Which of these desserts would you make for the 4th?

[RoxMonster]

We're hosting a small cookout at our house on the 4th. It's just going to be H, me, my parents, and possibly a friend of ours, so nothing huge/fancy.

H is manning the grill, but I said I would make a dessert (I have NO cooking or baking skills, FYI). I found three on Pinterest that sound promising/easy, and I really want something that includes fruit. Of these three, which would you make?

1. Fruit cupcakes

2. Strawberry cream dessert

3. Red, white, and blue dessert

#2 and 3 seem similar, and I was going to eliminate #3 because it has more ingredients, but then I wondered if those extra ingredients would make it taste better than 2. Like I said, I am pretty clueless about baking.

I usually have good luck with Taste of Home recipes, #3. All of the, look yummy though.

I've made this and it is super easy if you aren't a baker. Use a store bought angel food cake.

2. Especially if you're not a baker.

This one.

The cupcakes look like too much work. I'd do #2.

Too much whipped cream to fruit ratio. I'd make 2 or 3, but add pound cake cubes to the layers.

Thanks for the tips! That Skinny Taste one looks really good, and every ST recipe we've made has turned out well, so I think I might do that one instead.

I agree
