Hi Sharon, thank you for your tips... I liked the Cool Whip idea and also thought about lemon or white cake if I am going to bake one.
Here's a neat "no bake" flag cake that can be easily put together in the TM without having to heat the oven:
Flag Cake
(I generally make 1 and a 1/2 of this recipe)
1 tub Cool-Whip at room temperature
1 Sara Lee pound cake (or 2, see below)
about 1 cup blueberries
about 2 cups strawberries (cut in half long-ways)
Cut the pound cake into 10 slices and layer them in the bottom of the pan. Top with half the blueberries and half the strawberries. At this point you may add a second layer of pound cake if desired.
Spread the Cool-Whip on top with the back of a spoon. Add the blueberries in an orderly rectangle and then begin to add the strawberries so that the fruit and Cool-Whip make stripes.
Chill until ready to serve.
