Answer 7

A Flag Cake:  Just get white cake mix and bake it in a rectangle pan.  Ice the cake with Cool Whip and then use blueberries and strawberries to fill in the stars and stripes!  It's a good summer cake because it's light and fruity...and patriotic of course!

Also, jello squares or jigglers with Cool Whip always goes over well!
