  • 1 (3 oz) package berry blue gelatin mix

    3. Dip remaining 9 cake slices into strawberry gelatin mixture, then layer over whipped topping; pour any remaining strawberry gelatin mixture over cake. Spread remaining half whipped topping evenly over cake.
    4. Decorate top of cake with strawberries and remaining ½ cup blueberries. Cover and chill 1 hour (or overnight). Serve. (Makes 9 servings.)
    Note: For a larger cake, double the recipe and assemble in 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Decorate top of cake to look like an American flag, if desired.
