Of course...you can't eat it. But it is all the right colors and symbols....even if you can't dig your teeth into it's vanilla-y goodness.

The intent to wish you a Happy 4th of July is still there!

I took a few pics of the process of making the stars...

I cut out the corner first.

Lined up stripes I cut using a pizza cutter.

Then lined up my star cutter on top of the whole thing and cut it out.

I put some water on a white star and (using a spatula) transferred the flag shaped star onto the white star. Then I cut it out with a knife into a little bit of a larger star. The end result is neat!

I was so happy with this design!

My hubby is such a huge fan of our great country...and oh so PATRIOTIC...I mean our house looks like we should be having a party for Independence Day. We aren't. But at least there is cake! He's happy about that.

A lovely Independence Day to all my American Comrades and a blessed day to all!

  3. Thanks! Not really a lot of time, but the decorating seems to take the least amount of time. If I could just find someone to bake, fill and frost them for me...and I could use some help eating them. lol.

  4. Great its a deal.lol Ill bake and frost you can do the decorating. But you and I both need to find someone to eat them. That is why I limit myself with my baking because I cant stand to see waste and it hurts so bad when I bake just to bake and it goes to waste. So I am always trying to find someones home for my bakes.
