Just a prepared yellow cake mix (I added a 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract), cool whip, and fruit. So easy! You can use any type of fruit for a summer dessert. Pears, nectarines, peaches, raspberries, even grapes and plums would be good! If you have not tried a yellow cake mix, you should. It is my favorite cake to use for whipped cream and fruit. I'm not fond of other boxed mixes, but yellow cake mix is special. I used Duncan Hines for this cake, but I've used other brands as well.
Your flag cake looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat pate brisee recipe is on that post (at the bottom) with Paige's rhubarb/strawberry pie. She has also posted it elsewhere on her blog, whenever she has made something with a crust. It's a great all butter, crisp, crust recipe. She's a chef and I took tons of classes from her. Her food is divine.
Thanks Katrina! I did finally see it at the bottom of the recipe. I guess I thought it would be a link or something...And thanks for turning me on to another excellent blog!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and patriotic!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! I don't run into to too many Gloria's. ;) Your flag cake is super cute and the kitty in your post below the flag is cute too.
