Wasn't hard to make and was WOW in taste. Served at birthday party and was the hit of the day. It went very fast. -
I made this today in a punch bowl, doubling the recipe. I used one and a half (13 ounces each) pre-made angel food cakes, 2 quarts of strawberries (I couldn't get raspberries) and doubled everything else. Kate, I hadn't made this for quite awhile so I kept in mind what you said in your review about wanting to moisten the cake the next time...thanks :) What I did was rinse the strawberries and then sprinkled a bit of sugar on them. This seemed to correct the potential dryness problem. I also refrigerated for about 16 hours, so the longer it sat, the cake probably soaked in more juices. The picture I posted is the one made with strawberries. -
This was great. I used light cream cheese and light cool whip and pound cake. I also used strawberries instead of raspberries. Next time I might try moistening the cake slightly with orange juice. The family really enjoyed it and I will definately make it again. Thanks Karen. -
Thank you so much! I made this for a dinner party yesterday, and it was absolutely delicious!! Raspberries are sky high right now, so I used strawberries instead. I saw the other reviews first, and was a bit worried about the cake being dry, so I washed and chopped the berries (4 quarts because I doubled the recipe) earlier that morning, and added about 1 1/2c of water, and about 1/4c sugar in a bowl. I refrigerated that mixture for about 4 hours and then finished the recipe as directed. That definitely solved the dry cake problem. It was a huge hit and I will definitely be making this again and again. Thanks again Karen!

I opted to use a store-bought Angel Food Cake to make this for my DD's birthday. She was so thrilled, as raspberries are her favorite fruit, and with chocolate it's the "Ultimate". I shaved chocolate and made chocolate cursl to put on the top. It looked so pretty and tasted even better. Everyone enjoyed it so much. Now my youngest daughter wants one for her birthday too. It's okay by me. It was awesome! Thank you for sharing Karen!

<p>I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. <br /> <br />I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. <br /> <br />I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;) <br /> <br />We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! <br /> <br />Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes; all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. <br /> <br />Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. <br /> <br />I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. <br /> <br />I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! <br /> <br />Thanks and have a great day! <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again. <br /> <br />**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time! <br /> <br />*** Good/OK recipe but probably not something I would make again OR Very Good recipe that doesn't have clear, detailed directions. <br /> <br />** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result. <br /> <br />* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
