Jell-o cake. I don't bake, my mom does, but it was a HUGE hit at our annual cook-out at work yesterday. If you need the recipe, I'm sure I could get it for you.
how about a nice fun dessert (especially if kids are going to be there) its called "dirt and worms".
how you make it-------- take a bucket (like the sand bucket you would take to the beach) and fill it up with chocolate pudding. add some oreo crumbs to it and than add some gummy worms or even sour worms to it. than just serve it with the beach shovel and you have a nice cute dessert
Red white and blue jello
well i know it isnt a cream cheese recipe.. but jello salad is always good. :)

all of the recipes are delicious im sure! and for the cakes im sure you can put 4th of july decorations on top of them! hope i helped! best of luck!
if you want to save time on making desserts you could make red and blue jello with whipped creme. Or, you could make a bowl filled with strawberries and blueberries with whipped creme . you could make firecracker ice by mixing grated ice(like in snow cones) with strawberry(red) lemonade (white) and raspberry (blue) unsweetened drink mix ,water ,and sweet end condensed milk.then when the mixing is done place one scoop of each flavor in a ice creme cone.
sponge cake topped with red and blue colored berries then topped with whipped cream.
