Ingredients
- 1 vanilla cake mix - prepared
- 1 tub of vanilla icing
- 1 pint blueberries
- 2 lbs strawberries
Instructions
- Rinse the blueberries and strawberries under cool water. Pat dry and set aside.
- Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan and bake as directed on the box.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before decorating.
- Spread the tub of vanilla icing evenly over the cooled cake.
- Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them into thin, even slices. Thin slices will make it easier to create the flag design.
- Arrange the blueberries in a rectangle in the upper left corner of the cake to create the flag’s blue section.
- Place the sliced strawberries in rows across the cake, slightly overlapping each slice, to create the red stripes.
- Serve immediately or cover and store the cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
