Red,White,and Blue Trifle

This is great for the 4th but would be great for any quick, summer dessert.
1 box Red Velvet cake mix (feels like cheatin' huh!)
16 oz. whipped topping
2 pints blueberries
2 pints strawberries

Bake cake in 13X9" baking dish, cool. Cut into 1" squares, line bottom of trifle bowl with 1/2 the cake.
Spread 8oz. whipped topping over cake in trifle bowl. Layer 1/2 the blueberries on top of whipped topping. Top blueberries with 1/2 the strawberries.
Layer remaining cake on top of strawberries, forming the second layer. Spread remaining whipped topping over cake pieces.
Decorate the perimeter with strawberries; cut side down. Sprinkle center with blueberries.

Note: I have to press down the cake layers a bit so it all fits nicely in my dish. It would be helpful to let the whipped topping thaw a little for better spreading. I also have leftover berries. As far as berries go you could use any mixture or combination. In this picture I added raspberries from my garden.
