Brownie Flag Recipe

I made a homemade brownie batter, but you could use a brownie mix. You would probably want to use 2 boxes of brownie mix.

My brownies were a little on the thin side and a boxed brownie would probably be even thinner if you only used 1 box.

Once baked and cooled, the brownie is covered with a thin layer of white frosting. I just used store-bought frosting but you could make your own. A cream cheese frosting would be really good.

The fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries are arranged to make a flag pattern.

Finally the space between the strawberry rows is filled in by piping rows of frosting using a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
