It was good but took a long time to make. It looked really pretty but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

I made this recipe last summer & it was a big hit (festive & delicious). I made it again this summer for my daughter's all-star cheer team, but changed the top decorations into a star pattern to match their uniforms (red, white & blue with stars) & it was even a bigger hit! Thanks!

This was amazingly delicious and actually a lot of fun to make! I will absolutely make this a yearly tradition for 4th of July. It was a huge hit!

This was an easy recipe to make and it looked beautiful for July 4th! However, I thought it was too heavy on the cream cheese. If I ever make it again, I will use half the cream cheese and add more Cool Whip.

I made this for the first time on the 4th to bring to a friends house for a cookout, and boy was it a big hit! I used 1 box of strawberry jello and one box of raspberry, just to give it a little bit of tang with the sweet of the jello and coolwhip. I made the pound cake the night before so I could refrigerate it so it wouldn't get soggy with the jello & fruit on it, and it stayed nice and firm till it was gone the following day. Great recipe!
