1/3 cup or approx 40 blueberries
1 cup or approx 15 large strawberries, stemmed and sliced thin
Whipped Frosting:
8oz Philadelphia cream cheese, softened and cubed
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Preparation
1
Place a mixing bowl and beaters/mixer into the freezer so they will be icy cold for the whipped frosting.
2
Bake cake according to box instructions in a 9X13 pan.
3
Let cool completely then flip upside down onto a tray or baking sheet.
4
Using a large serrated knife, slice through the middle of the cake width wise and separate the layers.
5
Spread the strawberry cream cheese spread onto the bottom of the split layer and smooth onto the whole layer.
6
Replace the layer so the strawberry spread is in the middle of the cake.
7
Take the bowl and beaters out of the freezer and add cream cheese and sugar to the bowl.
8
Mix on medium until smooth then slowly add the heavy cream. Beat on high until fluffy.
9
Add vanilla and almond extract and beat on low until blended.
10
Frost onto cake (you will have some left over) covering the top and sides.
11
To decorate: in the top left corner add 6-7 rows of blueberries about 6 across, these are the stars of the flag.

Now add horizontal rows of sliced strawberries, lying flat on their sides slightly on top of one another. You should have about 4 rows.
