I made this cake for a huge 4th of July lake party and was a huge hit. It is very time consuming, but well worth it.Next time I will make more of the frosting. Also, just from common sense, didn't use the cornmeal. Oh, and this is not easy, you should be an intermediate cook to tackle this recipe.

Cornmeal -- bad idea. My daughter and I spent the afternoon making this cake, just for fun. It has the potential to be a good cake, but not as long as you include the cornmeal in the recipe. I should have known better. Next time, stick to a basic white cake recipe as Jarnette did. AND, make 150% of the frosting recipe, or you simply won't have enough. I can only assume, based on quantity and texture, the the photo for this cake had a fondant icing rather than the buttercream that the recipe called for. The addition of the white chocolate is a great idea. So -- to turn this into a recipe worth spending the afternoon on, skip the cornmeal and make 50% more frosting. THAT will be a delicious cake.

I used a different white cake recipe; I made a whipped cream frosting and chilled cake before frosting. I did use that decoration -- in fact, I've been making July 4 cakes like that since the mid '80s. My family has always loved them, and now my grandkids are blown away by them (I love little ones!!.

Needed more frosting. The stone ground cornmeal was a distraction, Leave out the cornmeal.
