    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits
    Yield: 15 servings

    13.25 oz Box French vanilla cake mix
    1 c Buttermilk
    1/3 c Oil
    4 lg Eggs

    MMMMM-------------------------FILLING--------------------------------
    3 oz Box berry blue gelatin
    1 1/2 c Boiling water; divided
    1 c Cold water; divided
    Ice cubes
    3 oz Box strawberry gelatin
    2/3 c Fine chopped fresh
    - strawberries
    1/4 c Fresh blueberries

    MMMMM-------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
    3/4 c Butter; softened
    2 c Confectioners' sugar
    1 tb Milk
    7 oz Jar marshmallow creme

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Line a 13" X 9" baking pan with parchment paper and
    grease the paper; set aside. In a large bowl, combine
    first 4 ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds.
    Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.

    Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in
    center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before
    removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Transfer cake to a covered cake board. Using a small
    knife, cut out a 5x4-in. rectangle (1/2 in. deep) in top
    left corner of cake, leaving a 1/2-in. border along
    edges of cake. For red stripes, cut out 3/4-in. wide
    rows (1/2 in. deep), leaving a 1/2-in. border between
    stripes and around edges of cake. Using a fork,
    carefully remove cut-out cake pieces.

    In a small bowl, dissolve berry blue gelatin in 3/4 cup
    boiling water. Pour 1/2 cup cold water into a 2-cup
    measuring cup; add enough ice cubes to measure 1-1/4
    cups. Stir into gelatin until slightly thickened. Scoop
    out and discard any remaining ice cubes. Repeat, making
    strawberry gelatin.

    In a small bowl, combine strawberries and 1 cup
    strawberry gelatin. In another bowl, combine blueberries
    and 1 cup blue gelatin. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or
    just until soft-set. (Save remaining gelatin for another
    use.)

    Stir gelatin mixtures. Slowly pour blueberry mixture
    into rectangle; spoon strawberry mixture into stripes.

    In a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy; beat in
    confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Add
    marshmallow creme; beat well until light and fluffy.
    Spread 1 cup over sides and top edges of cake.
    Refrigerate remaining frosting for 20 minutes.

    Cut a small hole in corner of a pastry bag; insert a
    large star tip. Fill bag with remaining frosting. Pipe
    frosting in between rows of strawberry gelatin and
    around edges of cake. Refrigerate 1-2 hours or until
    gelatin is set.

    ... Egg white omelets don't have the best reputation either.
