Ingredients
Directions:
Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease a 12-cup tube cake pan. Make cake batters as directed on boxes. Divide the white cake into two separate bowls.
Add orange food coloring to one bowl and mix to the desired color. Then, add purple to the other and mix to the desired color.
Pour 2/3 of the chocolate cake batter into a bowl and mix with a few drops of the black food coloring. Discard the remainder of the batter or use it for cupcakes. (You only need 2/3 of the chocolate cake batter, because if you use the whole thing in won’t fit in the tube pan).
Pour 1/2 of the chocolate cake mix into the bottom of the greased pan. Carefully pour the purple over the chocolate making sure you don’t stir it. Just pour it on top.
Then, carefully pour the orange batter over the purple batter and pour in the remainder of the chocolate.
Bake as directed on box or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes.
Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack that is placed over a cookie sheet. Cool cake completely, about 30 minutes.
Once cake is cool, equally divide your frosting into 3 bowls. Use the food coloring again to make one bowl orange, one purple and one black.
Microwave each bowl of frosting for a few seconds on high until it is smooth enough to drizzle over the cake. With a spoon, drizzle the black frosting back and forth around the whole ring in a striping pattern until you use it all. Then do the same with the purple and then the orange.
Set cake aside to dry.
Store loosely covered and unrefrigerated.
Cake can be made a day or two in advance.

Serving up a dessert that’s fun and patriotic for the 4th of July is easy with these red white and blue Patriotic Cake Pops.
Cake pops are a fun dessert for kids and adults. Part cake and part candy pop make these a dessert that can be made in advance and served up in millions of different ways. You can use any cake flavor or frosting of your choice as well as decorative sprinkles to make them all your own. They are a fun activity for the kids too. It allows everyone to get messy in the kitchen and mix up some fun.
I thought it would be pretty to make a red cake and dip them in white candy melts and red, white, and blue sprinkles. These patriotic cake pops are perfect for any party.
Ingredients (makes 40-50 cake pops):
Directions:
Bake cake as directed on box for a 13 x 9 cake and let cool completely
With your fingers, crumble cake into a large bowl. Once the cake is completely crumbled, add the frosting. Mix well with your hands until dough forms. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on wax paper on cookie sheet.
Place in freezer for about 15 minutes.
When ready to assemble, heat candy melts in a small bowl in the microwave according to the directions on package. Mix in the shortening until you have a smooth texture that runs off a spoon. Remove cake pop balls from freezer.
Dip the tip of a Popsicle stick into the melted candy then halfway into the cake ball. Lay them down on a wax paper coated cookie sheet until all the balls have the sticks attached.
Then swirl the balls gently into the melted candy and coat well.
Allow them to drip for a moment and then dip into colored sprinkles. Set into Styrofoam to harden.
