Loved this! Followed instruction as written. Made it in a 9×13, used cherry jello.
Took to a MOMS Club playgroup. Big hit!

Next time I might get a little more aggresive with my “pokes”.

We didn’t really care for this cake. We all really wanted to like it because it really came out beautifully, but I made it three nights ago and only a few pieces have been eaten. Personally, I liked it enough to eat it, but I probably won’t ever make it again.

BTW, I always heard and have made it with 2 boxes of jello and still use only 2 cups water. It’s really good that way. I also like to put fresh strawberries on top if I have them on hand.

Great ideas everyone! Now I need to try the Creamsicle, pudding layer and red and green Christmas ideas!

I almost didn’t even post this one because it’s so simple, but now I’m glad I did! My Grandma would come visit us before we moved from South Carolina (she was a Minnesotan transplanted to New Orleans) and she said it was my brother and my’s favorite and would be gone in just one day. It definitely brings back memories of happy days.

I bet cupcakes would be wonderful. Just pour the Jell-o from a small spout for better control.

I made this today and it was PERFECT. I used Strawberry but will definitely make it again with Orange for a Creamsicle affect. An easy, fun summer dessert!

I’ve prepared this cake with one addition: Add a layer of prepared pudding on top of cake, before the cool whip. I’ve made strawberry jello with chocolate pudding and, an odd favorite, lime jello with pistachio pudding. Just prepare instant pudding according to pkg directions.

Oh, yeah! I make this last week (and just bought more white cake mix) for guests. I almost always make it a round layer cake with two different, but complimentary flavors. This weeks cake was berry blue and cherry! My fave, and a Christmas MUST HAVE, is cherry and lime! Easy and always a winner!
PS, I have done cupcakes as well for school parties and it works out well too. Very refreshing cake.
