Happy Labor Day!!

I hope you are enjoying your day and although I made this cake for the 4th of July it's fitting for today to! I called it my fireworks cake but it's also patriotic.

Ingredients:
White cake mix or your favorite recipe.
Red and blue food coloring

Directions:
Set the oven to 350. Make your cake according to directions.
Separate about a cup of batter each into two bowls.
In one add red food coloring until well mixed and in the other do the same with blue food coloring.
Pour about half the original batter into greased pan. (I used a bundt pan)
With a fork spread a little red and blue batter in an outward motion trying not to get it on the edges.
Once you've used all the red and blue batter to make your "fireworks" cover it with the remaining white batter.
Cook until toothpick comes out clean, about 30 mins

Once cool make the frosting and frost.
To make the frosting mix 1/2 cup shortening and a stick of margarine. Add four cups powdered sugar and blend. Add 1tsp vanilla and 4 tbsp milk and mix. I separated the frosting and used food coloring again to decorate with red and blue. Then enjoy!!!
