I used lemon cake mix and cream cheese icing. The strawberries and blueberries mixed well with the lemon flavored cake. It's very easy to make and was really tasty.

Very easy to make! Had my daughter help me! We used white cake mix and cool whip instead though. The cool whip was just lighter than heavy frosting. Very good!!
