This cake is a perfect choice if you want to impress and surprise all the guests. You only need simple white icing (maybe with some sprinkles on top) to cover the cake.
Give the honor to one of your guest to cut the cake and you'll see his/her surprise face while he/she's cutting the cake.
Thank you "17 and Baking" for her inspiration ;)
- 2 boxes of Moist Deluxe Classic White Cake Mix (1-tint with Royal Blue, 1-keep white)
- 1 box of Moist Deluxe Strawberry Supreme Cake Mix (tint with Red No-Taste)
- Food Color Gel: Witlon Red No-Taste & Wilton Royal Blue
- White Icing: Buttercream or Whipped Cream of your choice
- Pudding or Icing for between the layers
- Red & Blue Sprinkles
- Bake 1-white cake, 1-blue cake, and 1-red cake in 9x13 rectangular pan
- Slice the red and white cake horizontally in 3-same height. Cut the blue cake vertically into 4-same width (9" divide 4), we only need 2-pcs of 1/4 of the blue cake.
- The stacking order is: red (1st slice), white (1st slice), red (2nd slice), white (2nd slice). Spread with pudding/icing in between layers before you stack the cake slices.
- Next, cut the 3rd slices of red & white into 2-same width (9" divide 2). Stack (red, white, red) on the center of the cake, then put the 1/4 of blue cake on the right & left side of the cake. Remember to spread with pudding/icing in between to make all the layers stay together.
- Cover the cake with buttercream/whipped cream and it's ready to SURPRISE everyone.
- To serve it: cut in half the long-side of the cake, then slice it to serve to the guests, so everyone could get the flag-cake.
- Enjoy... Happy Baking ;)

I'm going to make this for a military going away party, do I need to use the food color gel, or can I just use the liquid food coloring? THANKS!

Great idea !!! I live in Canada and would love to try making the Canadian Flag but I think the maple leafe would be very hard to do ... Will probably experiment though.

I made this cake today for our family 4th of July beach celebration and it was a hit. When I cut the cake open everyone was in awe. It was not that hard to do. Would definitely do it again. Happy 4th everyone.

This cake was actually invented by Elissa Bernstein of 17 and Baking. She should be given some credit.

Hi D-Light,
Elissa is the first one who received the photos from me and all the link before I gave out to everyone. She did reply me in her FB, then I share all the photos and link to everyone in DH FB & website. I thank her for her inspiration and her kindness for sharing her talents to all of us. You could go to her FB to check it out.
I even mentioned her in the description above and my friend who wrote the tutorial in her blog also mentioned and gave the credit to Elissa.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness for her though :)

Thank you :)
Hmm the Canadian flag is really really tricky because we need long cookie cutter with maple leaf shaped to make a hole in the center of white cake. Then we could fill it with strawberry jam. Well, who knows someone will try it someday and it did work.
I've thought about making couple holes (with star shaped) on the American flag for white star effects but it's a bit tricky because the stars will have to be tiny size :)
