Have you ever wanted to know how to make cookie cutters? The process of making delicious and fun-shaped DIY cookie cutters is far easier than you’d expect. Learn how to make all sorts of shapes so you can mold your cookies into whatever you want.
Since before the dawn of civilization, humankind has harnessed the power of fire to enhance the quality and flavor of food. Even today, we’re hard-wired to love the smell of sizzling wood, the sight of wafting plumes of smoke, and the musky taste of charcoal that comes from food cooked over an open flame.
It should come as no surprise, then, that barbeques and cookouts are still a time-honored tradition celebrated by cultures around the world. In fact, you might have a barbeque scheduled in your calendar right now.
But here at Whisked!, we don’t believe that all glory belongs to the master of the flame. We know that the only things tastier than fire-cooked food are what comes after: the desserts. That’s why we’ve curated this list of 9 mind-blowingly good desserts that you can bring to brighten up any barbeque.

America's birthday is coming up, and when a lot of people think of the Fourth of July they think fireworks, sparklers, and hot dogs. Here at Whisked! our minds go to desserts, and specifically what delicious treats we can indulge in when checking out the fireworks display. As the holiday approaches, we were curious what desserts Americans treat themselves to on the Fourth.
So we asked 1,000 Americans what kind of dessert is their favorite to snack on when the Fourth of July comes. Check out our infographic to see the breakdown:

The short answer is yes, pies can be frozen!
Many types of pies can be frozen and thawed, or frozen raw and baked fresh. Pro tip - both of the pies we sell in our online store, Bourbon Pecan Pie and Sea Salt Chocolate Chess Pie, freeze and thaw very well!
It starts with a whisper, a rumor, a murmur: “I hear it’s supposed to rain this Memorial Day.”
“Really? I heard it’ll be 98 degrees and humid.”
“No no, I have the weather app on my phone, it says there’ll be perpetual darkness with a chance of fog.”
Worrying about the weather for this year’s Memorial Day cookout may be a problem for other mere mortals, but not for you -- you’re making dessert this year, and neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will keep you from the swift and tasty completion of your appointed dessert.
That said, there are plenty of dessert options out there to choose from, and we’d like to help narrow down which dishes will be best for any Memorial Day weather event.
