    I have made this before - it is very light and tasty. Instead of using pound cake - I used an angel food cake pre-made. It didn't take the whole cake, only about half of a round bundt pan size to fill the pan with slices. - 8/25/08

    I made this cake with strawberry-banana jello and added bananas in the filling, and used banana slices for the white stripes. Delicious!!! - 6/30/12

    This cake is delicious and so easy to make. I used pound cake as directed and was very pleased. I didn't try to make a flag but just covered the top with strawberries and poured the blueberries between them. My hubby loved it. Now I have a new dessert to serve on poker night! - 7/5/15
