For a richer flavor, try using cream cheese frosting instead of whipped topping. To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. If you are short on time, you can purchase pre-made whipped topping and store-bought cake. You can substitute other berries for the strawberries and blueberries to match your taste or what's in season.
