Memorial Day Cake Ideas

Try doing something different, but something people will likely enjoy for a Memorial Day holiday cake. For example try an apple spice dump cake, all that is needed is the ingredients and any party supplies. Here is the list of ingredients; package of spice cake mix, 2 cans of apple pie filling, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, white sugar, butter and chopped pecans. Having gathered those items needed to make the cake, it is time for the directions. Consider some toppers for the cake such as; a picture of family members, or some favorite saying they had and write it on the cake in icing. A simple flag on the cake to remember those who have been lost. Now the directions, get the oven preheated to 350 degrees and pour the cans of apple pie filling into a 9 x 13 inch rectangular pan. Next take a small bowl and mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and sugar, take and sprinkle over the pie filling. Ready for the next step, pour the dry box of cake mix over the apples and dot with butter, scatter nuts on top. Bake in the over for 45 minutes to an hour or until the cake is brown on top and shows bubbling on the sides.

A Memorial Day party play list features tunes that explore the magic of memories, especially as they apply to important events in our nation’s history:

Of course, guests will particularly remember a Memorial Day party that boasts a full range of party supplies. A rubber or carved facsimile of a famous memorial, such as the Lincoln Monument, would work well. Memorial Day party colors should be subtle and subdued, and should include black, gold, silver and dark red.

A scene setter that depicts an old town square or historical salon would provide an ideal backdrop for a Memorial Day festivity, which should invite all guests—not only to party hearty—but to remember and reflect.
