Hello everyone!! I'm trying to get an idea for a Fourth of July cake for a bbq being celebrated at my aunt's house. There will be about 30 people there so I don't need anything huge. I'm only 13, and don't have the space or skill to do anything on a big scale. I'm thinking obviously red, white, and blue, but was looking for a design idea! Any and all ideas are helpul! Thank you in advance!!

you should take a look at the Wilton site. They give great instruction for holiday projects and even list the supplies you need.

If you go into the galleries on this site you will find over 450 4th of JUly ideas And.......if you google 'fourth of july cakes' you will find 1,000s more.

Hmm. For something simple, maybe just pipe a picture of the Liberty Bell onto a plain ordinary sheet cake? Or for something more complex, how about a picture of Independence Hall?

Looking at the galleries, I note that both have been sculpted (the former as a cake, the latter as a gingerbread house).

Probably too ambitious to try and fit the entire Declaration of Independence onto a cake, even as an Edible Image!
