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!
Haha – I knew there would be a surprise inside 😉
Awesome idea! It looks great!
This is the coolest forth of July cake I’ve ever seen!!! SO LOVE IT!
Another work of genius! Love it, and as soon as I saw it I thought oh my goodness 4th of July is coming up quick! So much fun!
We are our own worst critics… But you MUST believe that your cake is PERFECTION!
So very, very cool! This is going to be an amazing Fourth of July celebration for us since our son is coming home from Afghanistan ON the 4th of July! Can’t think of a better day for him to come home to this great country and our family!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! You know our 4th wedding anniversary is on the 4th of July!!!!! Oh how I love me some RED, WHITE, and BLUE!!!!
Always love your cakes – i am making this one, for sure for the weekend bbq!!!
