Let’s commemorate the adoption of our flag with cake pops! Flag Day is a celebration in the United States that calls for showing love for our country. Red, white, and blue festivities bring out our patriotic side. To give a bit of attention to the upcoming holiday I created a Flag Day cake pop cake that you can easily whip up to celebrate with friends and family.
