My store didn't have raspberries at the time so I opted to use strawberries which was just as good. Grandkids loved it.

Easy, light great for summer. I did not mix everything in the bowl. I layered the cake and berries and poured the jello/cool whip over, twice (2layers). Came our real pretty, like in picture.

Real summer dessert. Easy. Another one that I'm sure going to make again.

I enjoyed this desert very much and it was easy to make. It looked very much like the picture and several people asked for seconds.

It is a disastrous dessert. If you follow the instruction, the result will be a green and horrific cake. It was necessary to add more whipped topping to camouflage the "Semi-Freedo". If you thing that the worse is the appearance, you are wrong, because the taste isn't good too. :-(

Followed instructions exactly. Didn't look a thing like the picture and I have no idea how to make it look that way. Taste was so-so. I do not recommend.

Loved the taste and my kids loved it too. The nicest part is it took no time to make.

I didn't mind the taste of the dessert but in terms of visual presentation, it didn't look nearly as good as the picture. I opted to cover it with more Cool Whip and decorated it with raspberries. Only two people out of nine wanted to try it at my house.
