I love the colors of Red, White, and Blue… and love being able to incorporate them into a cake!
I especially love being able to celebrate this great nation of ours.
This design is pretty old school, as my close personal friend Buddy the Cake Boss likes to say.
And when I say close personal friend you know I mean total stranger.
Just sayin.
This is all vanilla frosting. The hard to distinguish black border around the star is my glaze icing. (the icing I use in place of royal icing)
The blue border and white bottom border is just piped stars… very Wilton old school. Which is really all ‘new’ school to me since I just started doing this about a year ago.
I wanted to add a fun detail to the top… I just piped out a design I saw in our local newspaper last week.
Thats all, thanks for coming by!
Oh, I’m kidding.
You know I cant make a cake without something weird inside.
A flag Surprise Inside Cake!
In all honesty… I think I overshot the basket on this one.
In the future I would make the internal flag cake, but with little to no decoration on the outside. Or, make the decoration on the outside, but just do white or red velvet on the inside.
I found this cake to be just a bit to busy. My dear hubby disagreed, but I think he is just such a cheerleader for my baking he was being kind. 🙂
If you want to add some patriotic spirit to your July 4th but dont
want to tackle a cake, you can also try out these super easy and fun pancakes!
Or cupcakes.
Or fruit sheet cake. The possibilities are endless!
OMGOSH! How in the world did you do that? I’ve never seen anything quite so spectacular before!!! You need to send this over to Martha Stewart (run don’t walk) or someother big food guru and show this puppy off and get some big kudos for it! This has now catapulted you into star status in my eyes Amanda (not that you were far off before). Simply AMAZING!!!!!!
I don’t think it’s too busy at all. My Dad would go nuts over this cake!
Hehe you saw my flag cake, right? It was totally awesome, until I realized what I’d written on top… http://www.beckibakes.com/?s=flag+cake
Oh, Amanda! This is STUNNING!!! I’m calling my husband over to the computer right now so he can be ashamed of his wife who calls herself a “baker.” Um….you NEED a bakery. You are the NEXT Cake Boss….bossette…something.
You are an amazing baker! I am always so happy to see your cakes and the lovely surprises ! Thanks for sharing! Happy 4th of July!!
Wonderful job – again! Love the inside. You are insanely talented – keep it up.
LOVE it all…. I thought the picture on the cake was spectacular….definitely not too busy!!! And the inside….well it just makes my mind boggle even trying to figure out HOW you do that!! You are amazing and I always look forward to your posts!
How on earth do you make these wonderful creations?! I know I sound like a broken record, but I am just blown away.
Freakishly Festive 🙂 Ok, not so freakish, I just like to have to words with the same letter when describing something LOL yep, I’m a weirdo! Well done. I love it.
You still have time before the 4th, how about a cake with fireworks inside? 🙂
Whoa!! The inside of this cake is amazing! Fantastic work!
What an amazing cake!! I love seeing the flag when you cut into the cake and the outer decorations are lovely. You amaze me!
