How to assemble the red, white, and blue dessert: No-bake Summer Dessert 

1. Add your whipped cream to the bottom of a clean, wide-mouth mini mason jar

   

2. Next, add a layer of the sponge cake (or other white cake). 
3. Add sliced strawberries and blueberries.
4. Then add more sponge cake.
5. Top with more whipped cream.
6. If you use a larger jar, you keep layering until the jar is full, but leave room to top with whipped cream. 

Should you decide to lid your jar, make sure to leave enough closing space at the top. Adjusting the final layers as needed.

Alternative ways to serve the dessert would be to slice a cake and layer the fruit and whipped topping on the dessert.
