Perfect Presentation Platters

Serving Platters: I used one of this set of two white porcelain platters, which I absolutely love! You could also go with this large white porcelain platter or this faux white marble tray from Walmart is also a great choice!

If you’d like a Patriotic serving tray, this Star Platter from Kirklands is so pretty and I also love this firecracker platter from Target if you’d prefer a paper option!

Star Dish: For a star dish similar to mine, I love this red star version from Michaels or this red and white version from Kirklands! (Just be sure to check the dimensions to ensure they don’t overpower your serving board.)

Small Serving Plates: If you’d like Patriotic serving platters, these star paper plates or striped paper plates from Target are adorable! For plates you can use all summer long, Target has these adorable blue gingham plates, which also coordinate perfectly with these blue plaid plates. Also, how cute are these star paper napkins?

Festive Lights: For an extra festive touch, surround your serving dish with these patriotic lights, these star twinkle lights or these American flag lights!

Patriotic Decorations: I love this framed mini American Flag from Michaels that I lean against my backsplash! You could also decorate with this patriotic banner, this star garland from Walmart, this red, white, and blue pom pom garland, or these patriotic tabletop balls (that I put in my cake stand!) This burlap wreath is also beautiful!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can cover with Saran Wrap and store in the refrigerator. I’d recommend making this within 24 hours of serving time so it stays fresh.

Storing Leftover Strawberry Shortcake Dip

If you have any leftovers, cover the platter tightly with Saran Wrap or transfer to a Tupperware Container and keep in the refrigerator. This should stay fresh for 3-4 days, if it doesn’t get devoured before then!

Enjoy!

I hope you loved this Strawberry Shortcake Dip as much as I did! If you’re interested in more Patriotic-themed recipes, you can check out this Patriotic S’mores Board, this Star Berry Trifle, or tons of more festive recipes and ideas here!
