HOW TO Make a Flag Cake - Baking with Blondie

Step 1

You’re going to want to have FOUR 6″ cake rounds prepped and ready. Split your batter into two bowls (1/4 of the batter in one small bowl, and 3/4 the batter in a medium one). Color the small bowl’s worth of cake batter into a dark blue hue (I love “Navy” from Americolor). And then color the medium bowl’s worth of batter to red. Bake as directed, cool, wrap in plastic wrap, then place in the freezer for up to 30 minutes to get nice and cold.

Step 2

First, slice your red cake rounds in half (not like a half circle, but so that you have TWO skinny red layers instead of one cake layer). Repeat with all the red cake layers.

Step 3

Next, take TWO sliced red cake layers and cut a 3″ diameter hole in the center of them.

Step 4

For the blue cake layer, do the same 3″ hole, too.

Step 5

So to recap slice all the red cake layers in half, cut a 3″ hole in the center of two of them, and the same 3″ hole in the blue layer. Sounds crazy, but trust the madness.

Step 6

Blue layer with hollowed out middle, small red circle.

Step 7

Crumb coat, place into the freezer for 10 minutes. Final coat, add sprinkles, and then swirl those buttercream swirls and buttercream decors right on top with that Wilton 1M tip.
