A Salute to No Fuss Berry Cakes!

NFFFourthofJulyCakes
Call me a cheeseball, but I love a Fourth of July berry cake. You know the cakes I’m talking about. They adorn every woman’s magazine cover throughout the month of July. Yep. Those are the ones. I love them. I think they are fabulous. The woman who came up with the first one I salute. There is just something about fruit on top of a cake in a flag shape that makes me feel like summer has arrived! If you never tried making one, this is your year. Martha isn’t the only one that can whip one of these babies up.

Below is a super easy (and de-lish) Fourth of July Pudding and Berry Cake recipe! Steal inspiration from these adorable patriotic cakes I found online (below are all the links for a closer look and alternate fun recipes)!
