And Friend of mine did a sheet cake (9x13) icing it with white whip cream and then put blue berries in the corner for the blue square with stars and used strawberries to make strips... It is cute and and always a hit.

I am having my last Wilton class Sat and thought of making my flowers and fondant red, white and blue, but am trying to figure that out now..... I sort of need an idea too!

Wilton had the cutest video idea. They used a flag pan and made a blue cake, then a red cake, then they put softened vanilla ice cream in the pan and froze it, then they layered it, red, white and blue! Very cute when you cut into it. They put extra icing on the sides to help hold it together. Then they iced it with the star tips. I'm thinking of trying out my new airbrush on my flag pan. Should be interesting!

I'm making a milk chocolate cake w/ strawberry filling and light whipped topping icing. Then I'll decorate it before it's served with fresh cut strawberries and blackberries shaped into the American flag with red and blue colored sugar lightly sprinkled over it so the colors wont run.

I made my very first fondant cake with the Patriotic theme back in April of this year. Go visit my page if you want. Everyone thought it tasted great too.
