2. memorial day cookie cake
Secondly, we have this yummy Memorial Day cookie cake that is so easy to make. Making a cookie cake is way easier than making regular chocolate chip cookies because you don’t have to put them into balls, you just grab a pan and place the dough in there. Not to mention you can decorate your cookie cake to be festive.
3. memorial day cake pop
Thirdly, we have Memorial Day cake pops. Cake pops are much easier to make than they look. Nonetheless, this recipe is super easy and not complicated as it uses boxed cake mix and canned frosting. (If you’re feeling optimistic and have the time, you can obviously make your own cake and frosting!).

7. flag cake for memorial day
Growing up my mom would make a flag cake for patriotic holidays and I always loved it. This flag cake really takes it to the next level, I am obsessed with this flag cake design! I don’t know about you but I always love Sally’s Baking addiction recipes and this one is no exception.
8. no bake memorial day desserts
This simple 4th of July dessert features layers of fluffy whipped cream, graham crackers, fresh sweet strawberries, and juicy blueberries. This no-bake Memorial Day dessert looks amazing, I can’t wait to try out this recipe.
In case you didn’t know what an icebox cake is:
An icebox cake is a type of no-bake dessert made by layering cookies or graham crackers with whipped cream, pudding, or fruit, and then chilling the layers in the refrigerator (or “icebox”) until set. Over time, the ingredients meld together, creating a soft, cake-like texture without any baking required. The cake is typically served cold, and its simplicity makes it a popular and easy-to-make dessert option for many occasions.
