This is such a perfect dessert for any spring or summer holiday but really great for a patriotic holiday. I love a layered lemon cake with whipped cream and fruit for dessert that looks like you spend a lot of time on it but in reality it doesn’t take much time at all to make. The whipped cream and fruit do all the work for your presentation.
Yummy moist and delicious layered cake made with a box mix but boosting it up a bit

Just look at all that yummy goodness! Fluffy whipped cream, juicy red strawberries and moist lemon cake. Does it get any better than that?
Patriotic Decoration
I love to serve this cake with a few American flags stuck into it or around it. It just says America to me because of the red white and blue. You could even use blueberries sprinkled on top and you wouldn’t even need to add any flags.
Really anytime of year you can make this lemon layered cake with whipped cream and fruit and no one would complain haha.
I served this to our family and there was not one piece left! If you are looking for a few other patriotic desserts try my Pound cake trifle or my mini no bake pound cake fruit tarts

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
I love all of your wonderful ideas! I especially like your patriotic/nautical table settings!
The cute outfits you put together give me lots of fun ideas!
