Flag cake!
After years of dreaming of it, I finally made it. It was a perfect family project: my mother Linda baked the cake (and trimmed the edges that had been gently nibbled by puppy Ruby), I frosted it, and my sister Rebecca applied the strawberries.
The cake is impressive-looking, and it actually tastes fantastic. Rich and buttery, with luscious cream cheese frosting. So worth the effort.
