Ingredients

    1 White Cake Mix made according to package directions -- the mix we used called for 3 egg whites, 2 T Canola Oil, & 1 1/3 cups of water.

    GLAZE:
    1 3 oz pkg Jello (Raspberry or Strawberry)
    1/4 c Granulated Sugar
    3.5 T Cornstarch
    2 C Boiling Water

    FROSTING:
    8 oz Light Cream Cheese, softened
    8 oz Cool Whip, Lite
    1/4 c Granulated Sugar
    1/2 tsp Vanilla

Directions

Use a 12x18 pan that is at least 2" deep (even deeper would be better!) that is well greased. Do NOT use a jelly roll pan -- they are not deep enough.
Yield: 24 pieces, 3"x3" 156 calories each.

Prepare & bake White Cake Mix according to package instructions. Allow to cool completely.

GLAZE:
1 3 oz pkg Jello -- Strawberry or Raspberry flavor
.25 c. Granulated Sugar
3.5 T. Cornstarch
In a saucepan, mix together until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Pour in 2 c boiling water. & stir. Put on medium heat & bring to a boil again. Boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Allow to cool to room temperature.

FROSTING:
8 oz Light Cream Cheese, softened
8 oz pkg of Light Cool Whip
1/4 c. Granulated Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
Mix until smooth. I prefer to use a blender, putting in the Cool Whip first & following with remaining ingredients. Allow the frosting to chill for a few hours so that the sugar dissolves into the mixture.
Keep refrigerated.

Putting the cake together:
Remove the frosting from the fridge & allow to stand for 15 minutes. Spread the frosting evenly over the entire cake.
Pour the cooled glaze over the frosting -- don't pour it on when it is still hot!
Cover with fresh or frozen raspberries or strawberries.
You can serve it immediately. Keep leftovers (if you have any!) in the fridge.
