Bear with us.<\/p>\n<p>First off, I used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/ina-garten\/flag-cake-recipe\/index.html\">Ina Garten&#8217;s recipe<\/a> (you know her as the Barefoot Contessa, if you know her at all.) I also consulted with my sorella, as<a href=\"http:\/\/mykindoftownchicago.wordpress.com\/2009\/07\/06\/pledged-floors-and-a-long-weekend\/\"> she has made said cake before, and knows the way of the cake.<\/a> I also double checked with Corelyn to make sure she was on board. This was the conversation (for real, I took it from gchat.)<\/p>\n<div><strong>Jennie:<\/strong> Will  you help me make a flag cake  Thursday night?<\/div>\n<div><strong>Corelyn:<\/strong> Sure. Whats a flag cake?<\/div>\n<div><strong>Jennie:<\/strong> A cake  that looks like a flag. It&#8217;s for my office BBQ  on Friday.<\/div>\n<div><strong>Corelyn:<\/strong> Oh nice. What flag?<\/div>\n<div><strong>Jennie:<\/strong> The American one? On account of Fourth  of July<\/div>\n<p>This is why we are friends: because Corelyn agrees to something before she knows what it is.<\/p>\n<p>Problems, you ask? I know, I know, we usually have none. But I didn&#8217;t consult Corelyn before I went grocery shopping, and this resulted in a &#8220;whoops&#8221;: I read the words &#8220;<strong>2 half-pints of blueberries<\/strong>&#8221; and read in my mind, &#8220;<strong>2 and a half pints of blueberries.<\/strong>&#8221; Now, I don&#8217;t know that this is really my fault. Why wouldn&#8217;t you say &#8220;1 pint of blueberries&#8221; ESPECIALLY if you are sure that not everyone gets their berries from said grocery store that sells them in half-pints? I, therefore, came home with 2 and a half pints of blueberries and 2 and a half pints of raspberries, and a container of strawberries JUST IN CASE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TC1_62lT5sI\/AAAAAAAACG8\/PFj2CQNu56Q\/s912\/DSC_0926.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, the raspberry count ended up being dead on, so I can&#8217;t complain there, but that&#8217;s for later in the post.<\/p>\n<p>The second problem I encountered was that I couldn&#8217;t find confectioner&#8217;s sugar at Trader Joe&#8217;s. Dear TJ&#8217;s, please expand your baking section. I must say though, they recently got bigger bags of sugar so I can actually get my sugar there, so something tells me they&#8217;re listening to my good-pleasegetbakingsupply-vibes I am sending over the airways&#8230;I had to stop at Target to find a non-existent beach umbrella (which still doesn&#8217;t exist) but Target DID have powdered sugar, so trip not wasted.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, after arriving home, Corelyn and I began the cake process.<\/p>\n<p>First step: You take 18 tablespoons of butter and you throw them in a  bowl. You cringe just a little. Then you put three cups of sugar on top  (or a little less\/more, depending on if your sugar is clumpy and you by  accident pour too much in one cup and less in the next, hoping it&#8217;ll  even out.)<\/p>\n<p>Cream it. With your electric mixer. I hate my mixer,  because it flings whatever I am making everywhere, and it&#8217;s lowest speed  is 1 million miles per hour, but you should use your mixer anyways,  even if you hate it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh6.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TC1_85y50MI\/AAAAAAAACHA\/_RkzrMaPuso\/s912\/DSC_0930.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Then after you cream for a bit, you&#8217;re going to add\u00a0 some eggs. Two at a time, those eggs, mix, and repeat. Once your six eggs (what a good omelet amount, gone into the netherworld that is this cake) are in there you&#8217;re going to add a cup of sour cream. It&#8217;s delicious, I swear. Mix, and add some vanilla (I never measure it, but you can if you want. 1 and 1\/2 teaspoons.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TC2AA28khAI\/AAAAAAAACHI\/LgjrSdINrFE\/s912\/DSC_0944.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">MMM, Sour cream.

Also cornstarch (1\/3 cup) and some kosher salt (buy kosher salt, you need it. 1 teaspoon), and 1 teaspoon baking soda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TC2AJIWrV1I\/AAAAAAAACHY\/kYlemNyM_Nk\/s912\/DSC_0958.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Then after you mix that dry ingredient bowl a couple times, you&#8217;re going to start incorporating the flour business with the sugary butter business.

I do not have a pastry bag. I also do not have tips. I also do not believe in gestures to the United States flag, as I am a history nerd.
