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.
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. 😉

Absolutely beautiful!!!
Of course you had to make a surprise on the inside as well as making it 25 layer cake – overachiever 😉 You are one crazy cake genius and I love it!
Now that is an impressive 4th of July cake!
Why would you decide to do something that is seemingly impossible and has no historical accuracy or reference? Because it’s so so so cool! I love it 🙂
What a beautiful and unique cake!! I would love to try this next year – my little girl is a 4th of July baby and I’m always looking for patriotic cakes!
Aaaaawesome, babe!! Love it~!!
You always amaze, Amanda. I love how you get the flag when it’s cut.
This is so beautiful! I was impressed from the start, but the final picture of the cross-section of the top half is just genius!
