Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package(s) yellow cake mix
2 pint(s) blueberries
3 pint(s) strawberries
3 cup(s) whipping cream
1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Bake the cake according to the directions, in a 9 X 13 inch pan. (Use the high altitude directions if you need them.)
  • Cool. (Cake may be made ahead and frozen.)
  • Place on a serving plate or board.
  • Whip the cream with the confectioners sugar.
  • Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise.
  • Spread the cream evenly around the sides of the cake, saving a little for the top.
  • To decorate: Using a pastry bag, pipe (or dollop and spread with a spatula) rows of cream alternating with rows of strawberries for the flag \"stripes\".
  • Make a background of the blueberries in the upper left-hand corner, then pipe or dollop stars on top to create the \"star\" section of the cake.
  • If making cake ahead, arrange fruit several hours before serving.
  • Add the cream up to an hour before serving.
  • VARIATION: Use chocolate cake mix instead of yellow.
