  1. I love how simple it is! My hubby picked up a random cake mix and I wanted something different, so abox of strawberry Jello and some blue can icing later...... this would be great for a 4th of July bbq- I didn't realize until typing this that I had made a red, white and blue cake! lol thanks!
     
  2. My mom used to make this. So pretty and so yummy. Can you say "COMFORT FOOD?"
     
  3. my mom and aunts started making this when i was in high school in the seventies. i hadn't made one in years so had to search for a recipe since i wasn't sure if the jello was made according to the package directions... i love this cake. it's always a hit :-)
     
  4. We were snowed in so we made this. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I used sugar free jello and sugar free cool whip as that is what I buy. We really enjoyed this. Next time I would put more poke holes in.
     
  5. Made this for my daughter's birthday and it was a hit. Topped it with Paige's Buttercream Frosting Recipe #43332. Thanks for sharing.

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
