For our fourth, I decided to make a Flag cake. You know the one! White cake with the "stars and stripes" (bluberries and strawberries or raspberries) I made a white vanilla cake from a box, with a buttercream frosting from scratch. Due to extreme overpricing of blueberries, and lack of good looking strawberries, I resorted to using frozen fruit. It tasted super yummy, but didn't turn out so pretty! The berries leaked pink juice all over the white background (even after I strained and patted them dry!) so.... here are some other pics from the cake making fun.
We had burgers and hot dogs, chips and pasta salad. We were sad that we didn't get to see any fireworks, but we had a good time all together. And we explained to Maleah that it was America's birthday, so she was happy about that! We'll get a bit more in depth as she gets older!

Ok, my favorite pic is the one in the bathtub. When you come to Germany, I want some "flag" cake ok? I don't care what time of year it is either. I will make the chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and we will make JennyP make choco hotto pots. Then we will sit around and eat cake with coffee all day :)
OOOOHHHHHH YEAH! That sounds super! hehehe... yeah, I loved that pic of Jaden, too. He's like, "What, mom?!? I'm bathing here!" hehehe... good fun :)
Cute! Maybe they should just make the white stripes pink. Then people who have to buy frozen fruit won't have to feel bad! :)
