According to the Flag Code, a flag is ANYTHING that looks like a flag, no matter the material. As such, it should not be "embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard." I'm sure the cake makers didn't mean any disrespect, but it would be nice if everyone was more informed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-2064094688560026472011-06-01T21:04:37.377-04:002011-06-01T21:04:37.377-04:00Thank you for remembering the Coast Guard!

The gentleman for whom I made the Chief Warrant Officer hat is one of the most endearing men I have ever met and deserves all the praise for his service as do all of our military, police and fire personnel AND their families. It's not just the soldier who goes to war - our hearts and appreciation go out to those who have lost a loved one... thank you, Laura, for rearing a son who would be willing to give so much to all of us. <br />My sister called to let me know one of my cakes ended up on your site... to be put on Sunday Sweets edition is truly an unexpected honor, but to have one of my cakes chosen for this post in particular?

He passed away on Feb 22, 2009 but I know he would have loved these cakes and appreciated the thoughts behind them.<br /><br />On a personal note, I, too, really hope the boat cake was not served on top of a real flag.
