Simple, delicious Peaches & Cream Kabobs! This fun dessert combines fresh peaches, pound cake, whipped cream, and a drizzle of honey for a sweet treat that screams summer!
There’s a church festival going on this weekend, and guess who’s NOT going to be there? That’s right….us!! It’s not nearly as rebellious as it sounds….it’s not even our church, for goodness sake. But from the moans and groans of my children, you’d think we were skipping their birthdays!
According to them, everyone is going to be there. As in ALL their classmates and ALL their friends. I have my doubts, for sure…..but the truth is, even if all their friends and all their classmates are going to be there, we won’t! I have zero interest in this church festival, or any church festival, for that matter…..
I don’t mean to sound like a grinch. And I really have nothing against church festivals. It’s more that I’m anti-festival in general. They’re crowded, they’re noisy, and they’re expensive! $3.00 per kid per ride? Maybe more? No, thank you. $4.00 for something to drink? No, thank you! $8.00 for a plate of cheese fries? I’m sounding super cheap, aren’t I…..??
Anyway, my kids are disappointed and I’m feeling kinda guilty. Little do they know this is the start of a whole summer of me saying no to festivals! I like to think all they’re really interested in is the chance to eat food on a stick. (That’s one thing festivals are good for, no doubt.) So I decided to make my own food on a stick. To make them feel better about what they’re missing….the festival….which is clearly nowhere near as fun as these yummy Peaches & Cream Kabobs! And definitely not as delicious. Sorry about the festival(s), girls. Not at all sorry about these kabobs, though!

What a great idea! Pinned to try this weekend 🙂
Hahaha, I feel exactly the same way about festivals – so crowded and so expensive, and never as fun as you expect them to be! These dessert kabobs look absolutely fantastic though, so I’m sure that will help with the disappointment! 🙂
What a fun idea for a kabob! These look great!
Agh I have to admit I kinda hate festivals too. Mainly cause I think they are dirty and I am always chasing Baby Stella to shower her in sanitizer. Paranoid mother over here! lol
These sweet kabobs totally make up for missing the festival! 😉
Pinning!
Beautiful!! They simply scream summer!!
Have a nice weekend. xo Catherine
Delicious!!! What a perfect Summer dessert! My mouth is watering!
This is such a fun idea, my kids would love them too!
These look celebration worthy and so yummy! I’ll take your party over a festival anytime!
What gorgeous skewers!!!
I LOVED festivals pre-husband, pre-kids… now, I feel the same as you! I hope that’s not “age” talking…. 😉
Love the honey stirrer! 🙂 These look fantastic!
I love idea of peaches n cream kabobs, Cathy! This is so creative and sounds absolutely amazing! Pinned!
I hear ya…festivals (must like amusement parks) are not really my thing….but these kabobs are! The perfect addition to any summer dinner!
That is why I don’t do festivals! 😀 Peaches are just starting to show up at our local stores – I see these kabobs in our near future!
I’m kind of against festivals too but we go to them maybe once a year! I would much rather have these instead!
These are so perfect for summer! Sounds amazing!
These are so fun, Cathy, and must be the tastiest skewers ever!
This is such a great idea! It sounds and looks AMAZING!
