Recipe Notes

*I used Sara Lee frozen Family Size All Butter Pound Cake for this recipe. You can find it near other desserts in the freezer section at most grocery stores.

*This dessert keeps well up to three days, covered and refrigerated. The berries may fade a bit on the dessert, so make sure to add them just before serving.
