American Flag Cake for The 4th of July Dessert by Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm sure it looked great!!! Thanks for letting me know you did the recipe...I love finding out that people are doing their own at home.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm Canadian, so I can't speak for Americans, but I use buttercream because I like it best and it is easy to work with. Lots of the cakes I make for my cake business have fillings that are fruit, custard and cream based.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm glad you found me!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, definitely! I used dyed vanilla because I wanted the colours to be bright.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I've heard that question a couple of times so far, so I'm wondering myself if it works! Let me know if you try it...good luck!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much for the kind words Swaggerkitty Hudson! I appreciate the support.

[@christinakim3228]

Just made this for a fundraiser, and everyone loved it!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Christina Kim That is great! Congratulations!

[@sarahhancock848]

I really liked that you sped up the video so that we could still watch the demo rather than just skipping it completely. I love to see it come together!

[@annitagg4659]

For those who dont like that much buttercream frosting substitute half the butter with the same amout of creamcheese its delicious...and creamcheese with whipped cream & sugar its the best frosting ever!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

ana gomez Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@annitagg4659]

Thanks..Love all your cake creations😃

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I use Americolor Gel Paste...it works so well.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

That will be a great day for celebrating!!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You will need 1.5 boxes...and the buttercream depends on how you decorate it. I used about 2 batches of my buttercream.

[@9ashleylauren]

I'm a big fan and I love all of your videos you make I watch them all the time and your very specific of what to use and you sound and look like a very nice and sweet lady and I'm ten years old :-)

Thanks so much for watching catfish9356! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. All the teaching I do for cakes is here on KZbin :) Good luck and thanks for the sub!

[@jahnaviyalamati8395]

oh and small tip when u bake the blue cake add white chocolate chips tastes good and somewhat resembles the stars :D and shouldn't the pattern be red, white then blue? Cuz it kinda looked like the french sovereign flag (the outside icing bit i mean)

[@laylawiley4884]

Yeah kinda😕

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!

[@tinacottle1835]

My flag cake came out great, the crowd loved it, thx!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Tina Cottle That's great! Thanks for letting me know!

[@lizzyramirez9575]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio cool CAKE

[@lindsaydipple7126]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio fun cake today

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Oh, but it is! That's the entire point of my channel. Looks hard, but it's actually easy when broken up into simple steps!

[@sudimohamed4188]

I think that cookies cupcake and cardio Should be on cupcake wars your awesome girl

[@mariahmurphy6917]

I made this yesterday for a 4th of July get-together with friends and family, and they all loved it! They all said it looked good AND it tasted good! Thank you so much for this!

[@1985LISS]

Well now I just figured it out on how to make a Greek cake. I want to make a cross in that blue so I have to cut only 4 parts out and fill it in with white frosting. The other layers will be blue and white so all my layers need to be blue and white but the blue on top is what I payed attention to for the top left hand corner of the flag so when you cut it, it will form a cross. Now for the American cake, how do you make the white dots for stars within that top blue layer ?

[@1985LISS]

Lets see, I will try this maybe tongiht :D

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Frosting and icing are the same thing.

[@moonseed26]

Wow I'm so going to make this for the 4th of July!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

moonseed26 Enjoy! I hope you have fun doing it!

[@ellyconrad]

high America👋🇺🇸

[@cameronrowell192]

Not relevant, but you commented this on the day my youngest baby was born. haha

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm not too sure what your question means...sorry! I often freeze the cake before starting a new layer of buttercream if that's what you mean.

[@sexyserb35554]

If you look at the colours as Red Blue White- it represents the serbian national flag ! Haha :) Great video though. Looks sooooo good.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, I sure do :) Just search for them in the search bar on our channel. Thanks for joining us!

[@nataliexu5624]

My eyes started getting dizzy when you did the top icing😝

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching the channel :)

[@DblC3]

Take the leftover scraps, cut them up, blend them in Cool Whip and make a red-white-and-blue trifle!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

***** Thanks for sharing your idea!

[@DblC3]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio You are welcome! Keep up the good work!

[@DblC3]

***** That, too.

[@thequeengetfit]

Cakes!

[@swaggerkittyhudson7240]

you can tell she takes her time because she does not rush and its neat at the end i love it in fact its the best 4th of july cake i have ever seen

[@dayanisalinas]

i made this cake and it came out nice it really worked :)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

dayani Salinas I'm happy to hear that!

[@leighburdick5007]

I did this for the Fourth of July! It was quite simple using your tips. I changed the outside but still used the inside design. I loved it!

[@victoriachung2391]

Hi! I love your videos! This cake looked delicious. I have a request, i think it would be awesome if you invited Rosanna Pansino from Nerdy Nummies to do a cake together! Both of you guys are awesome with an amazing channel, so i think it would be a great and fun thing to do. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@spookylilho]

That would be the best cake ever

[@Katelyst]

Hyeonseo Chung This should definitely happen!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We have LOTS of American viewers, my brother and his family live there, and I wanted to make this for all of them.

[@queenangel321]

Put white sprinkles in the blue cake batter before baking it for the stars

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Honestly, sometimes it's not worth the effort and if it's broken too badly, I start all over. Freezing the cake can sometimes help...it makes it easier to work with, and then the buttercream can be used to "patch" it up. Refreeze once you have a layer of buttercream, and you should be able to work with it a little better from there.

[@zenaecrue5602]

it's red white and blue

[@oompaloompa3234]

yeah it looks more like france's flag

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I used Americolor Gel in my vanilla cake batter.

[@_cmarquez_hernandez]

I'm going to make that for my cousin in the army.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

C Hernandez I'm sure s/he will really appreciate it!

[@jsullinger2801]

I just really enjoyed this tutorial on making an American Cake. I will make this cake next Month for our get together for the holiday. Thanks for being so detailed that even this 60 year old can make. 🇺🇸

[@jsullinger2801]

And I'm watching in 2017!! 👍

[@yesmingarcia5169]

It kinda looks like a captain america cake on the outside

[@yaniracota1775]

OMG I thought that to

[@toniann9387]

Anisley

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm glad to hear it worked out in the end!

[@gissellecaraballo5531]

That's so cool but WAY TOO MUCH ICING

[@marcya4428]

truetrue

[@Slappys]

I made a cake similar to this and I'd recommend something like vanilla mousse or cream filling that's lighter and not as sweet as having so much icing between layers

[@melvinmartin9295]

I really love your baking skill. I love to cook but now after watching you I KNOW that I will love to bake too.

[@chelsyb0917]

Th top is like captain America

[@chelsyb0917]

I like it

[@chelsyb0917]

I'm from Canada so I love Poutine and the Poutine cupcakes lol

[@deligeorgieva8535]

back to the channel i used to watch non stop five years ago only to find out she abandoned it. this hit me hard

[@ciaratrimby8697]

The fact that the icing on top isn't in "red white and blue" pattern really bugs me..

[@bulmaandvegetalove]

Omg, me too. XD I was thinking that

[@mirandayearta3268]

heather starbuck thought i was the only one haha

[@infinitypancakes1040]

Ciara Trimby same

[@35700Punk]

Ciara Trimby If you look at it backwards, it goes in the order: red, white, and blue. Just a tip. ;) haha.

[@infinitypancakes1040]

35700Punk it goes blue red white

[@nytflyt7]

ABSOLUTELY BREATH TAKING!!!! WOWZA!!! I love, love, love watching ALL your mind-blowing works of love & art but THIS ONE had me holding my breath....I'm making(or at least attempting!! lol )this for this coming 4th of July!!! THANK YOU for sharing & teaching us to be LIKE YOU!!! Luv ya, lynda A.

[@HyperJGaming]

Way to much icing for me lol

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, the firmer the cake, the easier it is to work with.

[@visionarial]

[@cloelynch2267]

[@blancagarcia5551]

Is anyone else watching it in 2015?¿???????????!?????!!!!?! 💄 :-P

[@JessicaMichel123]

I made it this year and it didn’t quite come out the same as yours but my guests loved it anyway and so did I. Thank you!

[@Awwkwaard]

Dear god thats alot of frosting yuck

[@iyannaellow9230]

Yea but it looks yummy!!

[@samanthayeager445]

its also a lot a cake but yes thats still alot

[@angiecrsqdo6024]

I agree I regularly put just a crumb coat on my cakes and cover it with fondont

[@SamDSo]

frosting is the best part of the cake! the more the better.

[@staceywashington6423]

a Tomboy me to!!

[@autumncolgate9421]

Love it!! Every time I watch one of your videos I get hungry. And it giges me an excuse to want to try and make the cake.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You want to freeze it until it is solid before stacking and layering.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Hi there, I get hundreds of comments a day and I do my best to answer them all. If you were missed, sorry, but quite often you can find your answer in the video, show notes or already discussed in the comment section. How much buttercream you need will depend on the thickness you put on your cake. That is up to you. Start with one batch and go from there.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Use it for other projects or whatever you want.

[@hockeyplays5158]

I have watched this video a million times! I should really try it some time! It looks so good!

[@MrSecretFish]

OMG! This cake is perfect my friend has been away in America and I haven't seen her in 3 weeks, I'm baking her a welcome home cake! i am so using this! THANK YOU!!!

[@kathynoble4154]

Thank you so much for this video. I read a couple of comments that made reference to the order of the colors. Actually, there is no specific order of the red, white and blue colors, Having owned a bakery, I can tell you that the engineering involved in getting those colors split exactly in an order - is very time consuming, I am going to make this cake in a couple of weeks for a party to celebrate my husband being sworn in as a U.S. Citizen. Thank you for posting this very easy video of the perfect cake.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You mean you're Canadian? Because I am too...and if you have a look at our channel, you will find many videos showcasing our beautiful country and treats celebrating Canada. This American Flag Cake was to celebrate with our American friends for their special day.

[@taylorglass1341]

My whole family was very impressed when I made this. I had less layers because my red velvet cakes didn't rise that much. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I love your channel💕🇺🇸

[@robynclegg4808]

You are my Favourite KZbinr ever 😊

[@skyygoddezz]

OMG this has got to be one of the most original designs I have ever seen EVER!!! AWESOME AWESOME and MORE Awesome. I did a different flag cake for this Independence Day but will try it out this month. :)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I keep the cake cold, and use a heated knife before I cut it.

[@AshleyMoore-wt7wd]

Omg u r soooo talented. And btw I know ur Canadian and I really appreciate u making this for ur American fans☺️🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! Happy to hear that you were successful!

[@LadybirdsCherrypies]

Only just started watching your videos but I am drawn in by the amazing cakes/desserts that you make! :)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much :) I appreciate the support!

[@oOBlueSkyOo]

OMG!! I´m not from USA but I love America and this cake is sooooo incredible... you´re so talented! I love your channel!! ;-) greetings from germany! ;-)

[@gavinmonaldo924]

your channel is my favorite out of all the other channels on you tube

[@Akycat1970]

I made this last year and everyone loved it. It was super easy to make.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

That is a great idea! I bet it was fun to make!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Oh, I see...if it is not staying where you pipe it, it is most probably too soft, so yes, putting it into the fridge or adding more icing sugar is best.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! Happy birthday to your friend :)

[@xXCutieKatGabbyXx]

This is so cool! Even though I'm Canadian and Independence day was almost two weeks ago, I wish everyone a happy 4th of July!

[@aquariumsbyjay9846]

Well done!!!! Your a professional! You sure have a natural talent

[@rebeccagaines5308]

Wow....absolutely beautiful!!! Excellent tutorial! Thanks very much!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, definitely

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I made a couple of Canada Day cupcakes. Next year I'm making a cake :)

[@ElizabethLopez-rb6lv]

Soooooo patriotic!!! I love it so much that I am going to attempt to make it for 4th of july tomorrow!!! Im so excited

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Elizabeth Lopez I hope you were successful!

[@ElizabethLopez-rb6lv]

[@jaejordamn5970]

woww amazing i love ur channel and as an 11 yr old baker it is so much fun to watch and bake ur amazing cakes thankyou

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

About 20-30 minutes. The colder it is, the easier it is to work with.

[@brookepittman8505]

I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel!! I've watched a few videos here and there...but never subbed. I typically only do cakes for family just because I enjoy it, but here lately I've been branching out and have even sold some cakes to friends and co-workers! You are very talented and you do great tutorials, and explain everything so thorough!! Makes me want to go home and bake every day!!! Thanks for what you do!!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

If your batter is cracking it might be over cooked..so just decrease your cooking time slightly.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

That's a great idea! Have fun!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it!!

[@hoe8834]

You are are so amazing! I am from germany but i have to say that you are my favourite youtube channel! I whatched all your videos. And have done lots of the recepies! I m just im love with you:))❤ ps: i love your voice!!! Love from germany:D sorry for the bad english!:)

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! I'm glad you're liking it!

[@megjohnson767]

i gotta say when i made it, it was hard and looked nothing like yours, but it did have the flag inside. Plus my family enjoyed it , and was impressed! :) by the way it tasted too good!!!

[@rehim4150]

You're so good at baking and so talented.. Thank you and good luck!!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I'm so glad that you are liking my channel!! Thanks so much for watching regularly!

[@summy59271]

thats amazing! your so good at cake decorating and cake making!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Until it is frozen...the colder the cake, the easier it is to work with. Under the lights in our kitchen, my cake softened quickly and was harder to work with.

[@qorrid5485]

hi! thanks for this recipe! it will really help this 4th of july! im gonna do the same pattern in the layers, with white cake instead of icing (im still gonna use icing, dont worry) then cover the rest with white then put blue and red sprinkles! i hope i can put those sparking candles on top. anyway, thanks for making this video!

[@mariahmurphy6917]

And this was actually a lot easier than it sounds! Which is awesome!

[@collgoff]

My parents and I made that cake for my brother's birthday because he was born on the 4th of July. It wasn't easy but we did it and everybody loved it. Thank you Cookiescupcakesandcardio.com.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Colleen Goff That's great! Thanks for letting me know!

[@collgoff]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio Your welcome!

[@heatherpedraza2818]

Hey Jen, Your opinion, on the American flag cake. I am going to try it but with red and blue velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, but I want the middle to be a white chocolate mousse filling. I know the frosting is best as glue, but I was thinking do you think it might work if I use a big glob of mousse, do a quick cream cheese frosting crumb coat, pop it in the freezer before starting the blue part, and proceed from there (so the cake and mousse is more set).Or do you think it might not work since mousse is very light and airy. Thanks..
