Ingredients

  • 1 vanilla cake mix - prepared
  • 1 tub of vanilla icing
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 2 lbs strawberries

Instructions

  • Rinse blueberries and strawberries and set aside.
  • Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to directions in a 9x13 pan. I used this Wilton pan for even baking.
  • Allow to cool completely.
  • Evenly spread the vanilla icing over the cake.
  • Cut the stems of the strawberries off and slice the strawberries. The thinner the better, because it will lay flatter. I used my JA Henckels knife.
  • Place the blueberries in a rectangle on the cake in the upper left corner.
  • Then lay the strawberries slightly overlapping them to make the read stripes.
  • Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
