A Pancake Charcuterie Board is a fun and festive way to serve pancakes for breakfast, dinner, and even dessert. It is great for entertaining and feeding a crowd. It is really easy to customize, and everyone will love all the options for creating their own unique combinations.
The Set Up: Grab a large board or platter, 1-2 syrup pourers, and a few bowls for toppings.
The Pancake Prep: Whip up a batch of your favorite pancakes. Add pancakes to your board last so they stay fresh and warm. You can use any pancake recipe or mix. Check out these Buttermilk, Gluten Free, and even Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Check out a pancake griddle and pan. You can even use a fun smiley face griddle like this one for fun.
Breakfast Foods: Adding some bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs makes a complete meal.
Pick a few Spreads: Creamy peanut butter, hazelnut spread, cookie butter, whipped cream and jam will work great too. Make sure to add lots of syrup.
Fresh Fruit: Fresh fruit is great to have with pancakes.
Finish off with some toppings: This can be chocolate chips, nuts and even powdered sugar.
Tips for a Pancake Charcuterie Board
When you plan ahead, this board makes your event effortless.
To keep pancakes warm, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F and place the pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven.
Cut up your butter into little squares so it’s ready to be put onto the pancakes.
Lay out dishes, napkins, utensils and prepare a self-serve drink station. Once the board is ready, your guests can serve themselves.
Make sure to have serving spoons and tongs ready so guests can have some fun customizing their pancakes.
Decide if you are going to do a small or large spread so you can have the right ratio of food. You want the board to look plentiful without any gaps or holes.
If you don’t want to invest in a wood charcuterie board, you can put out parchment paper on your table or counter and build it on the paper.
The Best Pancake Combinations
Strawberries, Whipped Cream, and Syrup.
Peanut Butter, Bananas, and Chocolate Syrup.
Nutella, Chocolate chips, and Whipped Cream.
Blueberries, Whipped Cream, and Maple Syrup.
Bananas, Walnuts, and Caramel Syrup.
Strawberries, Nutella, Chocolate Chips, and Whipped Cream.
Once you assemble your board, it’s ready to eat and enjoy.

Tips for Putting Together an Ice Cream Sandwich Bar
The Cookies
By ‘Cookies’, it really means the ‘delicious thing that can sandwich a scoop of ice cream’. You don’t have to limit yourself to just cookies. Head to the bakery and have some fun. Anything that is sturdy enough to hold ice cream and not get immediately soggy is fair game, so be creative! Put out a selection of at least four different flavors and also make the cookies different sizes, a large and a smaller size. If someone wants to try a variety of flavor combos can go with the smaller cookies. Giving people lots of options makes the assembly process more fun.
Fudge Stripes Cookies
Waffle Cookies
Sugar Cookies ‘
Oreos
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Funfetti Cookies
M&M Cookies
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Graham Crackers
The Ice Cream
Is the Ice Cream the best part? I guess it depends on who you ask. Use different pints of ice cream so you can include several different flavors of ice cream. It is nice to have a non dairy option available such as sorbet or a coconut based ice cream.
Vanilla
Chocolate
Strawberry
Mint Chocolate
Cookie Dough
Cookies and Cream
Coffee
Chocolate Fudge
TIP: Pre-scoop the Ice Cream. Scoop the ice cream onto a baking sheet and then freeze until you are ready to serve. To keep the ice cream from melting during the party, put the cartons in a big bucket of ice.
TIP: Have multiples of utensils and ice cream scoops so there is plenty to use for everyone.
TIP: I know having napkins is on your mind, but you should level up to wet wipes. These will get all of the stickyness off of everyones fingers.
Display: This 3 tier tray is great to display the ‘Cookies’ or the pieces necessary to hold the yummy Ice Cream together.
Bowls for the Toppings: These ramekins are great to put all of your toppings in. I also love having them in my Party Pantry to use at other parties.
Ice Cream Scoops: This set has 3 different sizes which is perfect if you are using different sized cookies.
Ice Cream Bowls: These are great for those people that don’t want to make a sandwich and choose to throw it all in a bowl.
TIP: Offer a selection of cones and bowls for those guests who don’t feel like an ice cream sandwich.
If this post doesn’t get you excited to throw an Ice Cream Sandwich Bar then I don’t know what will. Let me know what cookies, ice cream and toppings you add to your Bar. I would love to know what combinations are your favorite.

All American Food
Freeze blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries to use in Sprite for a patriotic drink. Cut up your favorite berries, add them to an empty ice cube tray and top them with water. You can also use lemonade, a clear soda like Sprite, or make an adult beverage with alcohol. When it’s time to serve, add these fruity cubes to the beverage of your choice.
Have a Festive Breakfast. Add some strawberries, whipped cream, and some blueberries on top to give the pancakes a festive look.
Enjoy the All American Meal of Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Corn on the Cob, Apple Pie, Watermelon, Root Beer Floats, Homemade Ice Cream, and Funnel Cakes.
Design a DIY Beverage Cart. Cool drinks are a must at a summer party. For a cuter take on a cooler, place the bottles and cans in a clean red wagon filled with ice.
4th of July Party Games
A big part of any party is making sure there is plenty to do and keeping everyone entertained. For a 4th of July party, you can play games like horseshoes and cornhole. Some other fun ideas include water balloon tosses and obstacle courses. If you’re not looking to DIY anything, check out these fun products!
Bring on the sparklers. Shield kids’ hands from sparkler burns with a plastic cup. Have a contest to see who can snap the best photos of the sparklers in action. Just to be safe (and to save yourself cleanup later), have a bucket of water on hand where people can dunk their used sparklers.
Have a Scavenger Hunt. Give your kids a list of things to find around the house that are related to the 4th of July (an american flag, stars, and fireworks for example)
Fun Party Favors. This kit includes necklaces, handheld Flags, red whistles, glasses and mustaches.
Red, White & Blue All Around
TIP: DON’T FEEL PRESSURE TO COME UP WITH A THEME. A RED, WHITE, AND BLUE THEME IS A THEME ALL IN ITSELF.
Once you have your theme, it’s time to start thinking about decorations. Check out the list for some decorations to help you celebrate America’s birthday.
Get a tablecloth that is either neutral or goes along with your theme. You can use a tablecloth, a table runner, or even place mats. If you use a plain solid colored tablecloth in blue, red, or white it gives you a great foundation. Check out this full kit here.
Get 4th of July plates and napkins (they don’t have to be fancy)
Make a simple 4th of July centerpiece using flags and red or white flowers.
Place a box of sparklers at each plate setting. It makes a cute place setting and can be used that night.
Craft your Way through Stars and Stripes
There are lots of fun and easy crafts that can be great for a 4th of July activity.
Red, White Blue Tie Dye: Have your kids create their own shirt with tie dye. This will make a great outdoor activity.
