Planning a family reunion or a get-together, a picnic before the parade or fireworks ? Here are directions for a flag cake.


Happy Independence Day!

Americans will be fire up their grills for chicken, hot dogs, and hamburgers. They'll be cooking up all sorts of American foods to celebrate. They'll be dishing up baked beans and potato salad, slicing watermelons, and cranking ice cream freezers.

A nation's birthday calls for a birthday cake. This one is as American as apple pie! A sheet cake with stars and stripes on a white-frosted background is bound to add pizazz to the picnic table decor and serve as a wonderful finale to the meal!

The cake can be made from scratch with any white cake recipe or with a mix. Children will enjoy decorating this patriotic cake, and they can learn about the flag at the same time. Hope you enjoy this treat ! For more picnic ideas, be sure to check out Denise Oliveri's recipes for kids to serve on the Fourth.
