Line serving plate with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Place about half of one can of frosting in a medium size bowl and color it blue.

Divide the remaining frosting into two parts. Dye one red and leave the other white.

Place each frosting in a piping bag and cut off the end (no tip needed).

Create the blue section of the flag in the tip left corner (height is about half the size of the flag and just under half the width).

Start with the red frosting and pipe stripes, starting with red at the top. There are 4 red stripes touching the blue section, then 3 additional red stripes, with the last one being the bottom of the flag.

Fill in with the white frosting.

Place white pearl sprinkles or similar sprinkle for the stars.

Arrange dippers around the edge of the buttercream flag.

Serve immediately.
