These summer baking ideas will get your creative juices flowing! Try out one or more of these fun and easy recipes for your next summer pool party or family picnic.
Summer is that time of year when there’s picnics, parties and gatherings galore. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love a good time with friends and family. Sitting around a bonfire watching the fireflies light up the sky surrounded by those I love is definitely my idea of fun! I love it.
But, with every invitation there’s a question I ask: “What can I bring?” I’m sure all of you understand the feeling of wanting to help out your hostess. I mean, I’d want someone to do the same for me, right? Well, I can come up with main dishes, sides and even snacks to bring. However, ask me to bring dessert and I’m at a total loss! Can anyone else relate?
Baking isn’t my favorite “housewife skill” so coming up with summer baking ideas can be a struggle for me. Over the years, however, my sister, Olivia, has given me many summer baking ideas. Baked goods are her thing and I’ve just benefited from the recipes.
If you volunteered to bring dessert to the next summer event, don’t fear. These summer baking ideas are fun and easy but also sure to be crowd pleasers!
