Yum, yum, yum! I don't know if it was the extra egg I mistakingly put in bowl and dug out but not only did everyone love the decor, they raved about how moist and good it was. I mixed 2 cake mixes together, used 1 1/2 for my cake. Made mini cupcakes with the remaining (and cooked in the micro). Put frosting on one and topped it with another mini. It tasted like Twinkies!! They were great!

I like to make a jello poke cake with the same strawberry & blueberry decorations. ALWAYS a big hit! I HAD to have it twice when I was pregnant with my daughter. She's 3 now and will be making her very first with her grandma in about 15 minutes =]

I have made this cake, except I poked holes in the cake and poured strawberry Jello over the cake. After refrigerating, I topped with Whipped Cream and the berries. So cool and refreshing. And so patriotic!
