Valentine's Day Jello Cake

Yum. That's all there is to say about a jello cake! Start with a white cake mix, and bake it according to directions. Let the cake cool a few minutes and then poke it all over with a fork. Mix up your favorite flavor/color of jello, and then pour it over the cake. Don't worry! It WON'T make the cake soggy. Put the cake into the fridge and let it set. Then, just before you're ready to serve it, place cake pan for just a few seconds into a sink of hot water, and then you can put it onto your serving platter. The hot water releases the jello so the cake comes clean out of the pan. I "frost" my jello cakes with cool whip, and then add fun things like flowers, sprinkles, or sugar glitter to make it pretty.
For Valentine's Day this year, I made a white cake with strawberry jello. For a little added fun, the filling is cool whip mixed with sliced fresh strawberries. Yummmm....so good. I used one of my Valentine's Day roses to make it beautiful and tada! Cake!
Caution: There will NOT be any leftovers.
