Red, White, and Blue Cake

A layer of fresh-tasting white lemon cake is sandwiched between two red velvet cake layers, with a zesty lemon cream cheese frosting as the "glue" holding it all together. A mixture of strawberries, blueberries, and tayberries (a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry---super delicious and sweet) decorate the top. It's a red, white, and blue wonder, and a totally perfect addition to any Fourth celebration!
