Notes

Storing: Once frosted, your 4th of July cake will last covered at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze your cake, but I recommend doing so unfrosted. To freeze, cool completely, wrap tightly, then store in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw overnight, then frost and serve.
