You know the cakes I&#8217;m talking about.   They adorn every woman&#8217;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&#8217;t the only one that can whip one of these babies up.  <\/p>\n<p>Below is a super easy (and de-lish) Fourth of July Pudding and Berry Cake recipe!
