I have seen these before, made with blueberries and strawberries, I believe. Anyone have this recipe or ever make it?

I usually just make a regular white (or chocolate) cake, put white icing on it, and cover it with strawberries and blueberries. It's red, white and blue, and totally yummy!!

I do something pretty similar. I make a strawberry-flavored boxed cake. (You'll see it right on the cake mix aisle.) I frost it with white frosting and then decorate it to look like a flag with blueberries and strawberries. First, make a square of blueberries in the corner. Then, cut your strawberries in half and lie them in stripes. MAKE SURE your strawberries and blueberries are totally dry before you put them on the cake or you will have red and blue runny liquid all over.

My mom use to make
What she called a

“refrigerator sheet cake”
She made a white cake and after it was made (keep it in the pan) she would mix up jello of red and blue and she would poke holes in the cool cake with a straw in rows about a inch apart all over the cake, pour the jello over it (after the jello had sat just a little so it wasn’t hot) half on one side half on the other
It filled the holes and she would put the cake in the fridge and make a whipped cream topping for it so when you cut it, it came out red white and blue.
Put the cake in the fridge to set the jello.
Also keep any leftovers in there to.
This was a really good cake…
I think I’ll make one this weekend….I had forgotten how much I liked them.

brandysmom- we use to make those too, only we called them jello cakes. Smiler

I am making a super easy no bake cake.

1 frozen pound cake, thawed
1 lb (or more) of fresh strawberries
1 pkg strawberry gel (the kind in the produce section)
Cool whip
blueberries for garnish

Slice the pound cake into as many slices that will fit on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
Spread the strawberry gel on the pound cake
Wash and slice the strawberries.
Layer them, as many as you want on the gel.
Spread the cool whip in top.

Garnish with strawberries and blueberries. Make the flag or anything.
Simple, yummy and no cooking or baking! Smiler

Martha Stewart had a spectacular berried shortcake on her mag cover last year. Basically it was a shortcake — biscuit with sugar in the mix — that had star cutouts in the top that revealed the berry filling. Get your biscuit mix and make a big — 8 to 9 inch biscuit adding some sugar to the mix to sweeten it. Bake it, split it, fill it with berries. You can do the cutouts if you wish. Good luck.
