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:

Hungry Americans answered and here's the breakdown of their favorite desserts for July 4th:

• Ice cream: 31%
• Pie: 16%
• Brownies: 10%
• Cake: 7%
• Cupcakes: 6%
• Cookies: 5%
• None of these: 25%

What are you favorite desserts to munch on over this patriotic holiday? Let us know by tweeting at us, or posting on our Facebook wall.

If you just want to kick back and relax this Fourth of July and not worry about baking, you can order cookies online from Whisked!, or get a mail order pie. Enjoy!

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.

All of the desserts below can be made without turning on your oven - although they’ll require some store bought elements (like pound cakes). If you’re not a fan of Entenmann's (although we harbor a secret love for those white and blue boxed cakes), we’ve linked to great recipes that you can use to make that item yourself.
