Happy Birthday America

 I made a Flag cake for the 4th of July. I used Ina Garten's recipe. I should have used a sheet cake pan but my oven is too small. So the cake was pretty thick almost like a frosted pound cake...but it was yummy. The cream cheese frosting was delicious.

 I used raspberries and strawberries for the stripes of the flag.

 I saw this spatula in Martha Stewart Living magazine & I thought it was SO cool. I'd love to surprise the hubby with this. 

4th of July wouldn't be complete without a walk on the Monkey Bridge.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Independence Day.
