We don't have any grand plans for the Fourth of July this year. It's too light outside at night to see any fireworks :( Ellie might be going to a friend's house for a BBQ - we were all invited, but I'm not sure if I'm up to chasing Nick around someone else's house.
We made this cake today in preparation for the Fourth of July anyway :) It sounds pretty strange to me (the pound cake with jello on it) but we decided to try it out. We haven't tasted it yet, so I can't tell you if it is actually a success, but it is pretty!

Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is melted.

Add sliced strawberries and 1 cup of the blueberries to thickened gelatin; stir gently. Spoon over cake slices.
