This is my attempt at a waving flag cake.  I saw this on a parenting.com newsletter and had to try it.  I only get this crafty when I’m pregnant. This cake project was kid friendly and much less involved than the sugar cookie phase I went through with my son. 

When I was pregnant with him 4 years ago I ended up making these elaborate sugar cookies for Thanksgiving in all kinds of different leaf shapes with gorgeous autumn colors, puprle, forest green, gold, yellow etc.  The funny part is that I bought all these cookie shapes and have yet to make sugar cookies since that first pregnancy!
