Instructions
Start with making the half sheet cake

Step 4
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a Rubber Spatula. Mix just until combined.
Step 5
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
Step 6
Bake the cake at 180°C / 356°F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 7
Let the cake completely cool before frosting. No need to remove it from the pan.
Prepare the cream cheese frosting
Step 8
Whip the cream cheese, mascarpone, and powdered sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Do not over whip as it can become runny.
Assemble the American Flag Cake
Step 9
Spread about half of the frosting on the surface of the sheet cake in a thin layer. Then put the rest of the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle tip.
Step 10
Arrange the strawberry halves and blueberry pieces as seen in the picture according to the American flag. There should be 50 blueberries and 7 horizontal lines of strawberries.
Step 11
Pipe the remaining frosting in between the lines of strawberries.
Step 12
The cake can be served immediately or refrigerated for 1-2 days.
