Equipment
- 1 Jelly Roll Pan
- 1 Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
- 3 Mixing Bowls
- 1 Measuring Spoons and Cups
- 1 Spatcula
- 1 Icing Decorating Bags, Gun, or Ziploc bags
Ingredients
- 1 Stick Softened Butter 1/2 cup if you don't use stick.
- 3 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream you may need extra for proper consistency
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Cream the butter in the stand mixer
- Add powdered Sugar 1/2 cup at a time- adding 1/2 c at a time prevents a mess
- Mix in Vanilla Until Buttercream is the consistency you like.
- Separate icing into 3 bowls or icing bags (Ziploc will work too)
- Add red food dye to 2 bowl/bag and blue to the other. Leave 1 bowl or bag with no color, you want to have white for the stars and stripes
- Mix the coloring into the icing until it's reached a shade you like. If you're mixing in a bag, squish the icing and color around.
- In the upper left corner of the cake using a fine tip draw and ice a blue box. Make the box large enough for 50 white dots- representing the stars on the flag
- To the rest of the cake add alternating white and red strips to represent the stripes on the flag. Start with red, then white. You will end with 13 stripes, 7 red, and 6 white.
- Serve and enjoy!
