Fourth of July Cake




Happy 4th of July, everyone! To honor this holiday (keeping my deployed sister-in-law in mind as well), I made a cake. I can take no credit for the cake, however, as I completely copied it from another blogger I am addicted to (iambaker), who was inspired by yet another blogger (17andbaking). Don't you love blogging? I do! Before you see the cake, please read my disclaimer: I am a novice cake baker/decorator. I also happen to be somewhat of a perfectionist. So of course I found many flaws during and after the creation of the cake. But I still had a lot of fun, especially trying a technique I've never done before. AND I know what I'll try next time.


And here's a picture of a slice (I accidently got the stripes wrong: white, red, red, white, red, white). Hahaha... oops!


I had some extra cake batter, so I tried my hand at some cupcakes:


We all got to enjoy a local parade as well. I believe it is my first ever 4th of July parade!



Let's remember those who sacrifice every day (including those who came before us) so that we can have freedom!
