^Love It? Then Pin It!^
I originally made this recipe back in 2012, and event hough I have made it countless times since, I have never updated the photos. My pictures have come a little ways since then, and I decided you all deserved to see this one again! I have made it red, white and blue like you see here, but you can tint the cake any color you like.
Here is a pink version I did for a friend’s party. I loved it in pink … but well .. I’m kinda girly like that! Since colors are pretty much endless… So are your possibilities!!

Sarah says
What did you use for the white part? Whip cream? Vanilla pudding?
Michaela Kenkel says
I am sorry… I never really posted a “recipe” per say, I should never assume everyone has had strawberry shortcake. I used whipped cream! 🙂
Brenda says
Be good to use cream cheese and powdered sugar n filling
Melissa says
How did you tint the angle food cake? DId you dip it in food coloring or what?
Michaela Kenkel says
Melissa, You add the food coloring to the batter for the angel food cake until you get the desired color, then you bake it.
Brandi says
Did you just cut the cakes in squares and place them around the container or did you leave them in there as a whole?
Michaela Kenkel says
After the cake cools, cut it into pieces and layer them with whipped cream and strawberries. 🙂
Amber says
Did you use cool whip or make your own whipped cream? Thanks
Chloe Crabtree says
I love to make trifles, but this is a whole new twist. I am imagining orange cake for Halloween, with chocolate whipped cream! This looks great for Independence Day, thanks for sharing!
Aileen says
It was kind of a duh moment I was trying to figure out how you tint the cake. I was thinking of using store bought never thought of baking lol! Thanks for sharing I love this idea for a Dr. Seuss theme party.
Michaela Kenkel says
You wouldn’t have been the first!! 😉
Pat G says
I am going to make this and use the juice from the strawberries to tint the angel food cake pink.
Michaela Kenkel says
brilliant!
Kathy taylor says
Im going to make it and use store bought angel food but tint the cool whip blue and add strawberries and blueberries for my Memorial Day dessert.
Michaela Kenkel says
Great idea! Enjoy!
Me says
Were is the recipe?????
Michaela Kenkel says
There really isn’t a “recipe” per say. It’s a box of angel food cake mix, tinted blue, made according to the package and cut into pieces. Layer it with whipped cream or cool whip and strawberries and your done! 🙂
Guadalupe says
Could this work if I use white cake and dye it blue? Not a big fan of Angel food.
Michaela Kenkel says
I think so! It may crumble a bit more, as I think white cake is a bit more delicate, but I’m sure it would be just fine? Pound cake would work great, too!
Emmah Obradovich says
How long does it stay good for. I want to make it for a BBQ but not sure if I need to do it immediately before leaving the house. As I don’t want it to get soggy. Thanks!
Michaela Kenkel says
I would just make the cakes and cut it and put it in a ziplock, cut your strawberries and keep them separate – assemble when you get to the party. It will get soggy if you make to early. Enjoy!
