Star-spangled cakes

I love these star-spangled cakes. Cake Wrecks usually features horrible cakes, but these are breathtaking ones.

I especially love the ones that you cut into and then see the hidden flag inside.

Born on the second of July...

So we all should really have been celebrating Independence Day two days ago? Whoops.

Star-spangled Rice Krispie bars

Here's what I made for our July Fourth celebration.

I did the colors, but no way am I cutting them out into stars and putting them on sticks, because that would mean a pan of several dozen bars would be reduced to 12!

Not that eating the leftoverparts in between the stars wouldn't be just as yummy, but still.

Kellogg's actually has a giant list of variations on the standard Rice Krispie treats. Banana nut, butterscotch, cherry coconut, chocolate pumpkin ... the list goes on. How much fun would it be to work in their test kitchen?
