Recipe Description
It’s time for a Red, White and Blue Cake for the 4th of July! This cake is super easy to make and so delicious! Fresh whipped cream and Mascarpone cheese, fresh blueberries, blackberries, strawberries cover an easy and moist butter cake. My family hovered around me as I decorated the cake~well decorated is a strong word, as I plopped the whipped cream and spread it all over the cake, diligently adding berries on the cake. They were like wolves and I started to panic, cutting the cake and serving them as fast as possible….well not exactly, but it was stressful! They inhaled every last piece as I shoved my elbow at a rib to get a picture!! You would think that I have never baked a cake before…… guess it’s a compliment! They love my cakes!
