Ingredients
- 14.25 ounces white cake mix ( plus ingredients required on the box)
- 1 box strawberry Jell-o (4 serving size)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 pint fresh strawberries (more as needed)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping (or 3 cups stabilized whipped cream)
Steps
-
Prepare cake in a 9×13 pan according to package directions. Cool and poke the entire cake with a fork.
-
Add 1 cup of boiling water to the jello mixture and stir until all powder is dissolved. Stir in ½ cup cold water. Gently pour over cake and refrigerate 4 hours.
-
With a hand mixer, mix softened cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add whipped topping. Spread over cake.
-
If making a Canadian flag, cut the strawberries from top to bottom to make a triangular shape. Use the image in this post as a guide to create a maple leaf shape and place strawberries along the sides of the cake to resemble a flag.
-
If making an American flag, create a blueberry rectangle in the top left corner of the cake. Cut strawberries in half and place in rows.
-
Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
