Memorial Day is just around the corner, and for many of us, this long holiday weekend marks the unofficial start to summer and the organization of parties and picnics with your friends and family to commemorate the event. So this Memorial Day Weekend, welcome the official arrival of summer by creating an awesome blue, white, and red menu for your friends and family.
 

Because you can't welcome warmer weather without a sweet treat (or two), we at Eco Party Warehouse have prepared delicious and fresh Berries and Cream Cake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4-1/2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
• 4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 cups heavy whipping cream
• 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 cups fresh raspberries

Instructions:

Step 1: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.

Step 2: Line two baking sheets with parchment or greased aluminum foil; draw a 9-3/4-in. circle on each. Spoon a fourth of the batter onto each circle; spread evenly with a spoon to within 1/4 in. of edge. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 3: Combine the sugar, confectioner's sugar, and cornstarch. In a large bowl, beat cream and sugar mixture until stiff peaks form. To assemble, place 1 cookie layer on a large serving plate. Top with 1-1/2 cups whipped cream mixture and 2 cups of mixed berries. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cookie layer and whipped cream mixture. Arrange remaining berries on top. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
