4TH OF JULY CAKE
You will need : to boxes of yellow cake mix, butter cream, pasty bags, blue and red coloring,
big star tip, little star tip, medium star tip,
and small writing tip.

First i greased the pan.Then i mixed two cake mixes.When i was done mixing the mix i put a layer of cake mix on the bottom of the pan and i dipped tooth picks in the blue and the red coloring and stuck them in the middle of the cake mix and did swirls.Then you put another layer of cake mix and do the same thing i did three layers. Cook the cake and take it out of the oven and let it cool off in the pan.While the cake is cooling off i make the butter cream.

you'll need: 1/2 cup of shortening, 1/2 cup of real butter, 1 1/2 tsp.of clear vanilla extract, 1 dash of salt 4 cups of confectioners sugar, 2-3 Tbls. of milk.
Directions
put cream butter and shortening in the mixer with vanilla.add confectioners sugar a cup at i time beating on medium speed. add milk i tbls. at a time beating on high speed until completely blended. if you want it a little sweeter add a dash of salt.Now its time to get your board and cover it you could use foil or parchment paper i used parchment paper. After i covered the board i took the cake out of the pan and put it on the board as you can see the cake came out but the middle part got stuck to the pan so i took the spatula and got it off the pan and stuck some icing in the part that was messed up and stuck the other part to the cake boom it was fixed.The next part was to ice the cake i did a thin layer at the top because the flag was going on the top and i did a nice thick layer on the edges. After the icing i made markings on the cake for the american flag.Then i colored all the icing and put them in there bags with the tips and started decorating. it took five hours to decorate the the cake but it was fun well thats me and the cake.
hoped you like it.
