I used this as a basis and did BOTH strawberry, layer of cream-cheese filling, then blueberry, then final layer of cream-cheese. It's for my sons pre-school graduation tonight and I'm willing to bet that it's a hit. I'll let you know, but just from taste-testing alone... let's just say I know what I'm having for my LUNCH!!!!
