Union Jack cake

Thought you all might appreciate the Union Jack battenburg cake I made for some American Jubilee celebrations here. (made homemade marzipan too). Not perfect but next time I know how I'd change it up.

I can't see your picture...but the cake looks cool.  I am going to give it a try!

sorry, I think I had permissions wrong, try again?

That is so fun!  Here's the one I did

Jubilee cakes are fun!  Anyone else? 

I did cupcakes (red and blue sprinkles, plain butter cream icing and Victoria sponge) , but I didn't take any piccies!

And for the other half - my American flag cake:

Love the American Cake too!  How did you do that?  I like your battenburg even better than the one pictured in the recipe.  Love the Queen on the top!

Thanks. 

The UK cake actually took longer than the US one (very complicated). But now I know what I was doing I'd do both quicker!

The US one was 2 red rounds & a blue round. You have to cut & layer the red ones & then cut out the middle of a red one & the blue and then switch.

The Queen was from a set I got at Xmas in the UK for my toddler!

I love both of those!  Such fun!

How crazy is this one that a friend of mine made.  She's amateur, but I think she's amazing:

fancy! I'm opposed to fondant myself but you can get much better detail....
