On Saturday, July 3rd, I celebrated my Independence Day because I had to work on Sunday and Monday. My family and I had a barbecue. All kinds of food was cooked, such as steak, BBQ chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, hot dogs (franks), hamburger s and baked beans. Of course, I made dessert. I made a strawberry cake that looked like the American flag. I used another boxed cake. I made a strawberry boxed cake. I just followed the box instructions and decorated it to look like the flag. I used blueberries, strawberries and canned frosting (spray and container). I used vanilla frosting from Duncan Hines and Pillsbury. I used one pint of strawberries and a quarter pint of blueberries. I baked the cake according to its instructions and let cool for 30 minutes. I used the Duncan Hines frosting as a base. I started from the bottom and worked my way up to the top. I used strawberries and created 3 rows for the red ribbons of the flag. I created the blue corner of the flag by make four mini rows with the blueberries and on the other side of the blue section, I just made two more rows of strawberries. Once all the fruit was set in place, I took the spray frosting by Pillsbury and created lines where the white ribbons on the flag would be. I sprayed some frosting between the blueberries to create the stars. The cake is now complete.
This cake only lasted this one day. Everyone dove in and tore it up. Some ate the cake before they actually ate the food. I took some pictures and will try to post all of the pictures by Saturday or Sunday.
