Patriotic Cakes and Cookies

At the start of the long Independence Day holiday weekend, it is estimated that 43 million people in the US will take to the roads!  

This seems a huge number, even for a country of this size and also begs the question 'How do they know?'.

At the supermarket there is plenty to remind you of the significance of the weekend, in terms of cookies and cakes..

These are giant cookies (dinner plate size)..

These are rather more modest in size..

The doughnuts have obviously been popular..

The whole store was suitably decorated..

And finally, this doesn't really fit the theme but I liked it as a summer design..
