  1. For cake assembly, arrange the blueberries in the top left corner
  2. Lay sliced strawberries overlapping in lines to look like the red stripes of the flag
  3. Take leftover frosting and put it in a large piping bag
  4. Cut the corner of the bag and pipe in a zigzag motion to make white stripes in between the strawberries to make the flag design

Serve or refrigerate until ready. Get an adult to cut the whole thing into portions with a sharp knife.

For best results, eat as soon as possible after making. However, you can store leftovers of your American flag cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days. In warm weather, it would be best to store it in the fridge and get it out about an hour before you want to eat it.

This is a fun way to get kids involved in patriotic celebrations. Who knows? it may even become an annual tradition!
