How to throw a Fourth of July Pool party!

With Memorial Day already passing us by, it got us thinking… how do you throw the ultimate Holiday pool party here in Austin (or anywhere?)

 

Make It Memorable

You need to let your guests know that this is a one-of-a-kind pool party!  Since we just missed planning for a Memorial day pool party to honor those that have served in the United States Armed Forces, let’s focus on another holiday pool party you might throw down the line on, perhaps, the 4th of July.

 

Decor

Two simple things are needed besides the usual assortment of chairs, towels, snack, drink and pool toys/games. These two things are thematic decoration and thematic cake.  The thematic decoration is simple – go out and pick up some fun trinkets including paper table sheets, cups and so much more that have your particular holiday in mind.  After that, you need to make a Holiday cake for all your swimming buddies.

 


Red, White and Blue (Cake)

You know how people say you shouldn’t eat and then swim? Tell them they need to leave you alone and to stop threatening your freedom to enjoy cake!  You better bake an amazing red, white and blue cake for the next pool party you have!  Your guests will thank you with silent munching.  Bake the cake the day before and put that yumminess in the fridge.  When your awesome pool party is kicking into high-gear, pull that cake out and plop it on a table.  Some forks, a knife and seasonal paper plates will let your guests know what they need to do.
If you have too many shy guests over and they aren’t going for the cake then go ahead and start cutting and placing slices on plates. That’ll let them know the time is now.
What is the perfect cake for an upcoming holiday that is pool party friendly?
