FLAG CAKE 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) white cake mix 1 cup shortening 1 package (2 pounds) confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Blue and red food coloring
Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. For frosting, in a mixing bowl, combine the shortening, sugar, water, salt and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 5-8 minutes or until fluffy. Place one cake on a serving plate; spread with 2/3 cup frosting. Top with remaining cake. In a small bowl, combine 2/3 cup frosting and blue food coloring. In another bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups frosting and red food coloring. Fill pastry or plastic bag with 1/4 cup white frosting; cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and set aside. Frost cake top and sides with remaining white frosting. With blue frosting, frost a 3-in. section in the upper left corner of the cake. Pipe white stars over blue frosting. Fill another pastry or plastic bag with red frosting; cut a large hole in the corner of the bag. Pipe stripes across top of cake. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Let's post some neat "themed" dishes with red, white and blue!
What I thought about making this year is a red and blue jello salad with cool whip. I thought about cutting the jello out with star shaped cookie cutters and adding blueberrys and strawberrys.
I alos though of just deocrating a cake with red and blue icing in an American flag design.
What are you guys making for the fourth?
