I found this recipe very easy to follow and a lot of fun to do. Although it is time consuming, it is well worth it to see the smiles and hear the "Good Jobs."

This was a big hit at the July 4th party we went too. Easy and fun to make. I am getting ready to make it again, because my husband and I only got one little piece before it was gone. Definitely a keeper!!! Thanks.

It was quick, easy and fun to decorate. I also made it fat free (you have to keep it very cold if you use fat free Kraft cream cheese, fat free Kraft Cool Whip). I also found a fat free pound cake. No one could tell the difference in the taste, but I knew that I was saving those saturated fat grams!

This was the best "flag" dessert I've ever made/had. The cream cheese and whipped cream "frosting" was DELICIOUS with the fruit. It was a big hit at the cookout - everyone loved it!! Can't wait to make it again!

This recipe was very easy and most importantly, delicious! It wasn't very sweet like most desserts. It was just PERFECT! Me, my family and friends loved it!

This recipe was excellent! I used sugar-free jello and light whipped cream and it still tasted great. I think everyone should try this recipe.

I made this recipe for the Fourth of July and it was an immediate hit. Everyone loved it and it was so simple I did'nt spend all day making it. I plan to make it every Fourth of July as a new tradition.

A nice cake, but evidently a very old recipe. The number of stars ought to be corrected, and one could even up the number of stripes to 13 by cutting the strawberries into quarters.
