Here in Louisiana, Purple and Gold are sacred colors. GO LSU TIGERS! Anyways, as you can guess the recipient of this cake is an LSU fan. I used the Wilton flag pan. The icing is Pillsbury funfetti vanilla. I iced the whole cake with white first. I then mixed violet, red, and blue to get a dark purple. After it sets for a couple hours it gets darker so no need to try and get it quite this dark from the start. I used golden yellow and orange to get the gold color. I used chocolate icing and tinted it black for the flag pole. For the stars around the bottom I used tip 16 and alternated colors (if you don’t have two tip 16’s you can use 16 and 17 so there isn’t a lot of tip changing.) The gold stars on top are done with the 3 star tip. and the flag pole can be done with any tip, it just depends on how you want it to look.
Now this cake is far from perfect, but I only had 3 hours notice that this person needed a birthday cake.
