EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Kids have fun! Skip the berries, and top the cake with red and pink jelly beans or candy-coated chocolate candies.

Use raspberry-flavored gelatin and fresh raspberries in place of the strawberry-flavored gelatin and fresh strawberries.

Tried making this with orange Jello, since I am allergic to berries. Smelled like homeade playdough when cooking and tasted like what I would think homeade playdough tastes like. It was awful!

I followed the instructions exactly the way the recipes says and the cake came out soo dry and it was like cutting through meat. Cakes are not meant to be made from the microwave.
