Make A Cake With A Russian Flag - and colours for Austria, Hungary, Romania, Ireland

Russian Flag.

The Russian flag is a tricolour of white, blue and red horizontal stripes. So if you are a nostalgic Russian expat or have Russian ancestors or are studying or teaching Russian or looking for seasonal cake, this one is easy. 

The white is white frosting. Or white cheesecake. Or white cream.

The red can be red food dye in the cake mixture or frosting, or jam or strawberries or raspberries, redcurrants or cherries or glace cherries. Or jelly or American Jello which is the American brand of jelly which is used to describe jelly. Or powdered beet. (Beetroot.)

Slice the cake or icing. Or pipe roseettes. Spread it with a knife or palette knife.

The blue could be blueberries. Or food dye. Or red cabbage makes purple - add baking soda to turn it blue.

You could also make this cake to go with a reunion of friends who travelled to Russia. Or to promote a trip to Russia. Or to go with a slide show about your holiday or business trip.

Savoury? Try cream cheese and tomatoes.

Greece
