Spirited Dessert

For this Fourth of July, I made the dessert! I happen to like making desserts...especially ones that have a theme to them. The theme was of course the 4th, so I decided to make a red, white, and blue dessert. It took me forever to decide what I wanted to make, as usual to my indecisiveness, so I went with the standard, for me at least. I made something similar last year, I made my dessert in the shape of a flag. The flag is my standard...and I happen to be obsessed with mini foods. I didn't want to make a normal, boring custard (ok, it wouldn't be boring but I like adding flavors) so I made a lemon custards. So my dessert was mini lemon custards in the shape (and colors) of a flag, the America flag of course.

As you can see, I added whipped cream and berries to the tops of my lemon custards.

I whipped the cream myself, from heavy whipping cream, and I added the food coloring so my flag would be very noticeable.

Now, it would've been cool if I had flavored the whipped creams to the berries they accompanied, but I didn't think of that until after. Don't get me wrong though, they still were delicious! I had a lot of fun making these! So much so that my hands were red from food coloring afterwards, actually my hands have just started looking normal.
