Very delicious and easy to make! I made this for a fourth of July party. It actually wasn't touched until all the angel food cake was ate, but after it was cut into it was devoured. It's definitely a great 4th treat! Try the whip cream mixed with a package of cream cheese. This will make the topping thicker. I believe it makes it tastier! Add powdered sugar to taste if a sweeter topping is preferred.

Made this recipe for 4th of July picnic and it was a total hit I actually altered the recipe just a little and used sugar free jello and fat free coolwhip and everyone raved about it and looked so festive Thanks for a great idea!

I took this to a bbq and it was done in 5 minutes and EVERYONE wanted to know how I made it. Everyone Liked it because it was light and not too sweet. I ended up leaving the jello and berries too long in the fridge and it got lumpy so it was not as smooth when I put the layer or cool whip. I ended up making it again the next day for my BBQ and again it was a hit. This time I left the jello in for exactly 5 mins and it came out PERFECT. GREAT RECIPE

It was quick and easy. I used Cherry Sugar Free Jello and wished I had used the Strawberry.

this was a HIT at the 4th of July party at my bf's grandmas'. She said that she would call me all the time from now on for all the festivities, and she requested the same cake NEXT 4th of July! Not only the appearance, but everybody loved the taste, too! Thanks to "Jello" & Kraftfoods.com!
