Rachael of Intricate Icings Cake Design<\/a> shares the inspiration for her design:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“My inspiration for this cake was the US flag… deconstructed.\u00a0 I incorporated a wavy red white and blue pattern on the bottom to symbolize the flag blowing in the wind by hand painting the stripes.\u00a0 The top tier has 50 stars painted in a combination of blue and pearl shimmer.\u00a0 The center tier highlights the hand made red sugar magnolia.”<\/p>\n

I love how the hand-painted ribbons gracefully cascade around the bottom tier while the subtle stars encircle the top tier.\u00a0 The red, white and blue ribbon backdrop provides such a bold contrast to the crisp white cake.\u00a0 It’s magnificent! This soft and feminine design definitely redefines the concept of flag waving.<\/p>\n

A special thank you to Rachael of\u00a0 Intricate Icings Cake Design<\/a><\/strong> for the ultra elegant red, white and blue inspiration!\u00a0 And to Revert Imaging<\/a> for the incredible photography!<\/p>\n
