browngirlWhilst lying on my back and reading over my shoulder, Mr. Joshlet spotted this spectacular terror of a hidden flag cake and declared he wants it for his next birthday, but in chocolate.
The scariest thing is that I know how I could make it in chocolate (red velvet cake). I just don't know where, because there is no way we can assemble it in our house unless we buy a chest freezer.
Also, EEEEK. This is what I get.

A cream-cheese-based dough of some sort might work.

Date: 2012-09-24 06:24 pm (UTC)PS I was thinking of white chocolate chips for the stars, but they would definitely be impressionistically scattered rather than regularly arranged. The amount of piping necessary for regularly arranged white stars -- my hand is cramping just thinking of it.
