Ever need an easy dessert for the holidays, maybe a cake that's not completely plain and need it fast? How about jazzing up a boxed cake mix with a red and green theme?
Take a Pound Cake Mix and after preparing the batter, divide it into three portions - make them as equal or unequal as you like.
I added one small box of Lime Jello to one portion, squirted some Red Food Coloring into another portion, left the basic batter plain and then layered each into the loaf pan. I swirled them a bit to make the irregular design.
You could use Cherry or Strawberry Jello and Green Food Coloring to switch it up. A layer cake or sheet cake would also work instead of a pound cake.
Add some whipped cream and you have a quick and easy treat.
I don't remember where I got the little Christmas teapot from, but since tea is my main drink, this ornament makes me smile.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy...

That's a great tip, Gloria! It's quick, festive and just the thing when company's coming!
It came about because I had a box of Lime Jello and knew no one would eat it- ha, so into the cake and now it's Christmas cake. It does give a festive look. Thanks, Debbie!
