Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crumble the pound cake into bite-size pieces. Divide cream into 4 bowls.

  2. Step 2

    Add 0.75 tbsp powdered sugar to each bowl. Whip each until soft peaks form, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add a drop of food coloring to each bowl—red, yellow, blue, and leave one white. Fold gently until color is even.

  4. Step 4

    Layer in 4 clear cups: cake crumble, colored cream, berries, then repeat. Start with cake.

  5. Step 5

    Top each with a strawberry half and a few blueberries. Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours.

Tools you’ll need
