American Flag Cake

I am so excited to share this cake with you! This was my most recent Fourth of July cake from 2013. 
















There is even a surprise on the inside! 

This cake took hours to bake but it is not as hard as you may think. The trick is to cut each layer into "rings." First, it is important to make sure that all of the layers are the same size radius-wise. You'll then need to make three layers of cake (red, white and blue) all the same size. Cut the red and white layers in half through the middle, creating one layer of cake into two layers of cake. The blue layer will not be cut into halves. Layer the red layer of cake on the white layer of cake. This next part is tricky. Pile the second layer of red and white and cut a round hole in the center of the cake, about an inch away from the outer edge of the cake. Then, take the center of the cake that was cut out and place it on top of the blue layer. Cut the blue layer to match the same size as the center of the cake. Then place the inner circle from the blue cake inside of the red and white outer ring. You should now have a single leveled cake. You can now frost the cake and choose how you would like to design it. I decided to make red and blue stars out of sprinkles and it looked great! I know this may be confusing so please comment with any questions and I will be happy to answer them!
