Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line 4 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- Combine white cake mix, egg whites, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat for 30 seconds using an electric mixer on low speed. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 more minutes. The batter will still be slightly lumpy.
- To make the red cakes, measure half the batter into a separate bowl and whisk in red food coloring. Evenly transfer the red batter into 2 of the 8-inch prepared cake pans; smooth tops of batter with a spatula. Transfer half of the remaining uncolored batter into a 3rd prepared cake pan; smooth top as before. This will be the white cake portion.
- Add blue food coloring to the remaining uncolored batter in the large mixing bowl; fold 1 cup white chocolate chips into blue batter until combined. Transfer batter to remaining prepared 8-inch cake pan; smooth top of batter with a spatula.
- Bake all 4 cakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove the cakes from oven and place onto cooling racks until cooled completely.
- Run a knife around edge of each cooled cake. Invert cakes, remove pans, and peel off parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to trim tops of cakes flat and even.
- Cut both of the red cake layers and the white cake layer in half horizontally. You will have 4 thin red cake layers and 2 thin white cake layers.
- Place a 4-inch round stencil on top of 1 thin red cake layer; cut out a 4-inch red cake round. Repeat, placing stencil on 1 thin white cake layer to make 1 4-inch white cake round. Center the 4-inch round stencil on the blue cake; cut out and remove center portion covered by the stencil to make a blue cake ring.
- To assemble the cake, you will need 2 thin 8-inch red cake layers, 1 thin 8-inch white cake layer, 1 4-inch thin red cake circle, 1 4-inch thin white cake circle, and 1 blue 8-inch cake ring. Reserve the leftover thin red cake layer and other cake pieces for making crumbs for decorating.
- To assemble cake, place 1 8-inch thin red cake layer on a cake pan and frost the top generously with white frosting. Place the thin 8-inch white cake layer on top of the red one, and frost the top. Place remaining 8-inch thin red cake layer atop the white one. Frost the red layer.
- Place the blue ring cake on top of the 2nd red cake layer and carefully frost the inside of the blue cake ring. Gently fit the 4-inch white cake layer into the blue cake ring. Frost the top of the 4-inch white center. Place the 4-inch red cake layer on top of the white one. Gently press small cake circles flush with the top of the blue ring.
- Frost the entire outside of the cake generously with the remaining frosting.
- Crumble red and blue pieces of leftover cake into 2 separate bowls. Score lines into the top of the cake's frosting with a kitchen knife to make a flag design on top of the cake. It should have a 2-inch square at the upper left for blue field and white stars, and 7 thick horizontal stripes about 1 inch wide.
- Fill the square field at the upper left with blue crumbs and press 1 tablespoon white chocolate chips upside-down into the blue crumbs to make 'stars.' Fill the bottom stripe and every other stripe with red crumbs to make red stripes. Sprinkle white sugar generously into the white stripes to make them stand out.
- To serve, cut cake into wedges. The inside of the cake will reveal its layers of red and white stripes and blue field with white chocolate chip stars in every slice.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to temperature indicated on the box mix.
- Prepare cake batter according to box directions.
- Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13-inch pan. Alternatively, line the bottom with parchment paper and grease the sides for easy removal. Bake according to package directions.
- Let cake cool for 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter to cool completely.
- Place cake in the freezer while you prepare frosting (this makes the flag cake easier to frost).
- With an electric mixer , beat the cream cheese, whipped topping, and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
- Remove cake from freezer and spread top and sides with whipped cream frosting.
- To decorate flag cake, outline a square in the top left corner with blueberries.
- Fill in with remaining blueberries, leaving some white space showing through. These are the stars on your flag cake.
- Make several lines of raspberries next to and below blueberries. These are the stripes of your flag cake. Refrigerate flag cake until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 13" x 18" rimmed baking sheet - spray with your favorite non-stick spray or wipe down with a bit of oil.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a whisk or a wooden spoon to combine.
- Using the back of a wooden spoon, make three indents in the flour mixture. Into one indent, pour the vanilla. Into the second, pour the vinegar. Into the third, add the oil. Pour the water over the top. Stir well until combined.
- Spread the batter in the baking sheet and, using an offset spatula, spread the batter to the edges of the pan, making it as level as possible. Bake for 14-17 minutes; until the sides have pulled away from the edge a bit and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Pull the cake out of the oven and set on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, make the buttercream frosting. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the butter until smooth. Add a cup of powdered sugar and mix in at low speed. Add remaining powdered sugar, a cup at a time, and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla and the milk. Mix until smooth and an easily spreadable consistency. If too thick, add more milk - just a teaspoon at a time, as it thins out easily. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost it with the buttercream - simply smooth it all over the top in a thin, even layer.
- Now, it's time to decorate! Visually divide the cake into thirds and, in the top third, fill in with rows of blueberries. Add rows of halved strawberries next; the amount of stripes depends on the size of your strawberries, so just eyeball it, and if you need to adjust the berries, you can use the tip of the offset spatula or the tip of a spoon to create stripes in between the rows of berries.
- Serve as soon as possible; it can be made ahead of time, but the strawberries will probably start to leak after awhile, so keep that in mind.

Steps:
- 1. Combine cake mixes, egg whites, oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat for 30 seconds. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 more minutes. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- 2. Measure half of batter into a separate bowl and whisk in red food coloring. Divide red batter among 2 of the prepared pans (4 greased 8-inch round cake pans lined with parchment paper); smooth tops with spatula. Transfer half of white batter into the third prepared cake pan; smooth top. Whisk blue food coloring into remaining batter; transfer to remaining prepared pan, and smooth top.
- 3. Bake cakes in a preheated 350º oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Set pans on racks and cool completely.
- 4. Run a knife around edge of each cooled cake. Invert cakes, remove pans, and peel off parchment paper. Trim tops of cakes flat and even. Cut red and white cakes in half horizontally to make 4 thin red-cake layers and 2 thin white-cake layers.
- 5. Using stencil as a guide, cut out 4-inch rounds from centers of blue cake, 1 thin white layer, and 1 thin red layer. Set aside an 8-inch white ring, 4-inch blue round, 8-inch red ring, and 1 thin red layer for another use. Or crumble them into separate bowls and use to decorate outside of finished cake, if desired.
- 6. On a cake plate, layer 1 thin red layer, 1 thin white layer, 1 thin red layer, and thick blue ring. Frost top of each layer before adding next layer. Carefully frost inside of blue cake ring. Gently fit thin 4-inch white round into blue ring, and frost top. Set thin 4-inch red round layer on top of white one; gently press flush with top of blue ring. Frost top and sides of cake generously with remaining frosting.
- 7. If desired, sprinkle stripes or star patterns on top of cake using reserved cake crumbs. Chill cake 1 hour for easiest slicing.
- 8. You may skip the white cake layer and just do all red and blue. The white frosting acts as the white stripes. Make sure cake is cooled COMPLETELY before serving or it will crumble when sliced.
