This lovely cake was an order for a birthday cake for an amazing person who just happened to be a state representative for the state of Rhode Island. Thus, we decided it would be great to make the outside of the cake somewhat official-looking - so it was modeled on the state flag. The stars, anchor, and border of the cake are all fondant - the stars created with a cookie cutter and the anchor was traced using wax paper, piping gel, and a anchor template. The inside of the cake, however, is tie-dye! I used a vanilla cake and separated the batter into four bowls - and used food coloring to create red, blue, green, and yellow batter.
