From the hands of babes :)
Memorial Day is quickly approaching – you know what that means…..
CAKE!!!
Cake really helps celebrate any holiday – or day, really. Happy, Sad, Angry, Anxious, etc etc etc – cake is helpful.
I was looking for a great recipe for Recipe Thursday (almost the weekend) and I found this little gem: 17 And Baking
This teenager (who is now 18) has this cute blog about baking. I wish there were more teenagers like her. “Shaking Flour, Not Ass” would be their motto.
In my world anyway.
She came up with the unique way to celebrate America in cake (via her dad).
Here is the link for her directions on how to make the layers – she also has other links to 2 blogs with more detailed and picture steps.
Also, here is the recipe for the frosting:
Cream Cheese Frosting
Makes enough to frost a 4th of July Flag Cake
From The Joy of Cooking
16 oz cream cheese
10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
4 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Beat the cream cheese, butter, and extract together until combined. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the desired consistency is reached.
Nom Nom Nom
Love you all, cakers!
