Not your ordinary fruitcake

In addition to baked desserts for a party, try making no-bake fruit "cupcakes," fitting for anyone who is on a gluten-free, lactose-free, dairy-free, fat-free, anything-free diet. Use different shapes of cookie cutters and be creative! Hold it all together with a toothpick, and that's it! Even the most baking- and cooking-inept person can be successful at making this dessert. It looks beautiful on the table, and people might even be pleased to have a healthier option.

Watermelon, strawberries or raspberries, and blueberries might look good together for the 4th of July.
