HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

first off, happy 4th everyone!

how the cake began was, my bro wanted to make a cake and i wanted to make red, white and blue striped cupcakes, but we ended up baking this cake together.
i made the cake it had red, white and blue layers, but, they all mixed while in the oven so the finished product was white. and my brother made the frosting, red, blue and leftover vegan whip-cream. :) the blue ended up being a purple and the red a pink, but it still tasted good:)
enjoy!
