toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool. With a knife loosen
cake from edges of can and cake should slide out. Decorate sides and
top of cake as desired.

corner place rows of blueberries. Align strawberries on the top row.
Place white frosting in a ziploc bag and cut the corner off. (or use a
pastry bag) Squeeze white frosting after the strawberry row. Fill cake
rows alternating rows of strawberries and rows of white frosting to
resemble the red and white stripes on an American flag.
