A Different Kind of Flag Cake for the Fourth of July

Photograph from 17 and Baking
If you're tired of the typical berry-dotted Flag Cake, Elissa of 17 and Baking has a creative Fourth of July dessert recipe for you: layered hidden flag cake! The flag, featuring an outer blue ring of cake, only appears when you cut into the cake. Elissa explains how to construct the cake and shares a recipe for cream cheese frosting. [via @bakingbites]

That is one of the most original ideas to come along [with regard to the 4th of July] in decades.

This is a great idea, would love to see it with additional layers of red and white for "stripes", and sure that would look stunning.

I saw this last night and HAD to make it for a party today. I'm dying to see how it looks when we cut into it later. Fingers crossed!!
