Been a family favorite for many years. I have baked a strawberry cake mix, add the strawberry banana jello. Topped with whipped cream frosting made with strawberry pudding added to the whipped cream, and put fresh strawberries and blue berries on top. Very good.

We have a very large family so for the 4th of July I use 3 white cake mixes and black cherry and berry blue jello. I frost with stabilized whipped cream and decorate as a flag with blueberries for stars and strawberries make the red stripes! This is truly a favorite family tradition :)

I use raspberry jello with chocolate cake. Then frost with a layer of raspberry jam. And since I dislike Cool Whip I use whipped cream with 1 tbsp. instant pudding -- vanilla or chocolate -- as the sweetener/thickener.
