FLAG CAKE

Ingredients:
1 Yellow cake mix
 1 cup of oil
1 cup of water
3 eggs
Frosting:
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 ½ tbs water
1 tsp light corn syrup
1 tbs soft butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 pint of fresh strawberries
½ cup fresh blue berries

Mix cake mix with water, oil and eggs according to package directions. Pour batter into a 9” x 13” baking pan.

Bake in a 350◦ F oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the cake pulls away from the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack for five minutes. Remove cake from pan and allow to cool completely.

For frosting: Mix powdered sugar, water, corn syrup, vanilla, and butter together until thick and creamy. When cake is cool, frost the entire cake with the frosting.

Slice strawberries in half length wise and allow them to drain on a paper towel while you arrange the blueberries. Lay the fruit out on the cake into a flag pattern as shown.
