Patriotic Mini Parfaits

Today is my son's first birthday!! We had his party over the weekend and we all had a great time.  Here are some pictures from the photo shoot cake smash we did last week. I can't wait to get the rest of the pictures.

These mini parfaits are a great and easy dessert for the 4th of July.  They are made using pound cake, strawberries, blueberries, white chocolate chips, and whipped cream.  They were so delicious! This is a great treat for summer and a,festive treat for a 4th of July picnic or celebration.  I hope that you enjoy these, I can't wait to make them again!
