I have made a flag cake before. It was ok. But I wanted to kick it up a notch. Make something really wild that no one* had done before.
*There is a reason no one had done it. Its crazy.Â
I decided to make a cake that was twenty five layers.
Um. Why would one decide to do something that is seemingly impossible and has no historical accuracy or reference?
I don’t know.
Banging. Head. Against. Wall. Repeatedly.
I think I had too many cups of coffee the day I decided to make this.
That being said, I decided to continue my blogs ‘ruffle’ theme and make vertical stripes on the exterior.
Pretty little red, white, and blue ruffles. I think I am addicted.
How does one serve a twenty five layer cake?
By chopping it in half thats how!
Then I cut myself a slice, hummed at little America the Beautiful and had a bite.

Here’s to you! I am hoping you are enjoying your long weekend, that you are soaking up the sun, that you are giving yourself a break and relaxing, and that you are with people you love.
Happy 235th Birthday America! You dont look a day over 200. 😉

WOW! This cake is Awesome!! SO CUTE! What tip did you use on the top of the cake; i lOVE IT! Thanks.
This is some serious amazingness!!! It’s surely one thing to try in life (just one time it seems 😉 )!!!
you are sooo clever! you really inspire me xx
Did you use a structure inside of this cake to support all the layers? I am looking to make a tall cake (not quite this tall!! impressive!) and am worried about it being to tall/heavy. How many layers, 2 inch thick, would you stack without support?
What tip was used to make those ruffles? It’s awsome.
The perfection in this cake is stunning. Impressive!
just saw this for the first time and im in love!!!! i think i will make it this year however i don’t think i will quite so ambicious with the 25 layers. perhaps 10 or so. thanks for such an awsome idea
A MAAAAA Zzz IINnG!
Well it’s gorgeous, albeit labor intensive. This is what the forefathers would have wanted, anyways. I’m pretty sure they’d flip for a pretty ruffle cake like this!
Pretty amazing!
