Delicious Memorial Day Dessert Ideas to Sweeten Your Celebration

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and while it’s a time to honor and remember, it’s also a moment to gather with family, share stories, and indulge in delicious food.  What better way to elevate your Memorial Day celebrations than with desserts that bring people together and pay homage to the red, white, and blue?

At O&H Danish Bakery, we’ve crafted a selection of treats that are as memorable as the day itself.  Perfect for BBQs, picnics, or just enjoying with loved ones, here are five must-try desserts to sweeten your holiday.

• 1.  Flag Layer Cake

  

  Nothing says celebration like cake, and our Flag Layer Cake is designed to be the centerpiece of your dessert table.  Featuring vibrant layers of red and blue velvet cake with just the right touch of cocoa, it’s both visually stunning and decadently delicious.  Topped with patriotic decorations, this cake is perfect for summer parties and all-American gatherings.

  OHLAF TIP:  This cake keeps well for several days in the refrigerator!  Wrap it tightly to maintain freshness.

• 2.  Red, White, and Blue Kringle

  

  Celebrate the American way with our Red, White, and Blue Kringle.  This summer favorite combines cherry, blueberry, and cream cheese, all nestled into our signature flaky pastry.  Topped with sweet icing and festive red, white, and blue sprinkles, this Kringle is a star-spangled dessert that’s as tasty as it is patriotic.

  This sweet treat pairs perfectly with a good cup of coffee or a tall glass of lemonade.  It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

• 3.  Freedom Kringle Trio

  

  What's better than one Kringle?  Three, of course!  Our Freedom Kringle Trio offers a variety of classic American flavors:  cherry, apple, and blueberry.  Each Kringle is crafted with care, using only the finest ingredients to highlight the fruits we love across the United States.  Whether you’re serving this for dessert or gifting it to a host, this trio is an absolute showstopper.

  OHLAF TIP:  Slice up all three flavors and arrange them on a board for a festive dessert spread!

• 4.  NEW Stars and Sprinkles Cupcakes

  

  For those who love the charm of individual desserts, the new Stars and Sprinkles Cupcakes hit the mark!  These jumbo-sized red velvet cupcakes are filled with creamy cream cheese frosting and beautifully decorated with red, white, and blue buttercream and sprinkles.  These grab-and-go treats are perfect for kids (and for adults who want a less messy option!).

  Bring these cupcakes to a picnic or BBQ, and watch them disappear in no time.

• 5.  Wisconsin Kringle

  

  Pay homage to true American flavors with a Wisconsin Kringle, the official pastry of Wisconsin.  With a rich filling of cream cheese, Door County cherries, and fresh cranberries from local Wisconsin bogs, this Kringle delivers a perfect blend of tart and sweet.  It’s a delicious way to enjoy locally sourced ingredients and celebrate the simple pleasures in life.

  Served with coffee or tea, this Kringle is a delightful treat any time of day.
