Website Link - 4th of July Cake

I have found several fun, easy recipes on http://www.kraftrecipes.com/home.aspx They have fun holiday recipe ideas!

A few years ago I made this cake. It was super easy and everyone at the family party I took it to thought I was so cleaver. I copied the recipe and picture below from the website.

Wave Your Flag Cake



Ingredients
4 cups fresh strawberries, divided
1-1/2 cups boiling water
1 pkg. (6 oz.) or 2 pkg. (3 oz. each) JELL-O Gelatin, any red flavor
ice cubes
1 cup cold water
1 pkg. (12 oz.) prepared pound cake, cut into 10 slices
1-1/3 cups blueberries, divided
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

Directions

Slice 1 cup strawberries; cut remaining strawberries in half. Set aside.

Add boiling water to gelatin mix in large bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is melted. Refrigerate 5 min. or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Meanwhile, cover bottom of 13x9-inch dish with cake slices. Add sliced strawberries and 1 cup blueberries to thickened gelatin; stir gently. Spoon over cake slices.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Spread with COOL WHIP. Arrange strawberry halves on COOL WHIP for stripes of flag and remaining blueberries for stars. Keep refrigerated.
