| | Memorial Day/Fourth of July Flag Cake 1 package of yellow or chocolate cake mix
2 pints of fresh blueberries
3 pints of fresh strawberries
3 cups of whipping cream (do not use whipped topping in aerosol can)
1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar |
|
Bake cake according to package directions in 9 x 13 inch pan. Cool. (May be made ahead and frozen). Set on serving plate or board. Whip cream with confectioners' sugar. Cut strawberries in half lengthwise. Spread cream evenly around sides of cake. Using a pastry bag, pipe (or spread with a spatula) rows of cream alternating with rows of strawberries for the flag "stripes". Make a background of blueberries in the upper left-hand corner, then pipe stars on top to create the "star" section of the cake. If making the cake ahead, arrange fruit several hours before serving. Add cream up to an hour before serving. Serves 12. |
