There is nothing specific in the Flag Code regarding the use of the US flag as food. It does say: • “No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America.” • “… It should not be … printed or otherwise impressed on … anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.” The icing on a cake would generally be eaten, digested, and “discarded” in a most disrespectful way. We suggest that it is an inappropriate display of the flag.
