America is the greatest country in the world! Every year, we celebrate America's birthday on the fourth of July. I baked this American flag cake on 2012 for my grandma's birthday (which also happens to be on the fourth of July). It was hands-down the talk of the party!
And surprise! It is red, white and blue on the inside!
This artsy cake is a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. First I took my batter and divided it into two different batches. Using blue and red food coloring, I dyed one batch red and the other blue. I then baked the cakes and allowed them to cool completely. Using a cake leveler, I leveled the cakes and made a thick layer of frosting in between the blue and red layers. I then coated the whole cake with frosting using a spatula. For the flag design, I colored my frosting red and blue. Using the blue frosting, I carefully made a square on the cake using a spatula. I then used a Wilton tip #21 to pipe the stars and a Wilton tip #102 for the stripes. Not only is this cake patriotic, but it is fun and your party guests will discover an awesome surprise when they slice into your cake!
