Optional Berry topping:
You can use any combination of fresh berries. Wash fruit and dry it on paper towels. Cover the entire top of the cake with berries (usually 2 boxes will do it). Heat 3 TBS of red currant jelly with 1 TBS of water. Let it cool and brush onto fruit letting the jelly drip between the berries. Make sure you "paint" all the berries. Chill and serve.
