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!
Wow! That is amazing.
No,was right. The blue on the inside makes the sliced cake stunning!
how on earth did you do that!????!??!
Ooh! You made Elissa’s cake! I absolutely love her blog 17 and baking – how cool of you to make your own incarnation.
Elissa’s cake was also made on a Salt Lake City show, they tracked the original idea seen all over the net back to her, see there video here! http://go2.wordpress.com/?id=725X1342&site=17andbaking.wordpress.com&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstudio5.ksl.com%2F%3Fnid%3D71%26sid%3D11199064&sref=http%3A%2F%2F17andbaking.com%2Ffeatured-on%2F
I saw this cake a few days ago and can not stop thinking about it. It’s such a beauty!! This is for sure my favorite cake that you’ve done. Love it!!
Can you tell me how many cakes you made for this?? It has a lot of layers. Pls share cause I would like to make mine as tall as yours. Thanks
I used three
separate cakes. One for the blue, one for the red, and one for the
white. I only added blue to HALF of the blue cake recipe, and then
made an additional layer in white. 🙂
have fun with it!
Girl, you were fast. Here I thought I would have to wait at least a day for your response!! You Rock!!! Going to make this cake for my nephew’s birthday this Sunday. He was born on the 6th but party will be on 4th of July. I don’t think he’ll mind a flag cake cause he’s just turning 2!!! I’ve seen a lot of these cakes but yours is by FAR the prettiest and tallest!! Thanks once again, and Happy Fourth of July.
p.s. Your blog is amazing!!
Looks great as always! My husband actually saw it and forwarded it to me (though I told him I always check your blog and would have seen it eventually 🙂
