Watch Ina Garten Make The Fourth Of July Cake That America Needs Right Now

By Becky Scott June 30, 2017

It seems an odd time to be celebrating America right now, what with the state of our Commander-in-Chief’s Twitter account, but nothing will get you in the spirit to stand up and sing your favorite anthem like Ina Garten’s famous Fourth of July Cake.

The Jewish chef and American inspiration posted an Instagram video of herself making a cake in double-time for this weekend’s festivities.

If you know what’s good for yourself, watch the video below. Just try not to get depressed when you try and fail to recreate it later on.

It’s a 4th of July tradition! I’ve made so many flag cakes over the years and I’ve gotten really fast at decorating them!! Post a picture of your flag cake using #BCflagcake !!

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.
