Easy Valentine's Day Cake

1 grocery store pound cake (make sure it has a hole in the center)

raspberry jam

Jell-O vanilla pudding

1 box raspberries

1 large carton Cool Whip or 2 small cartons

flowers

Cut the cake in half. Place bottom half on a cake plate (put waxed paper around the bottom to keep your icing from making a mess). Spread a thick layer of jam. Now spread a layer of vanilla pudding. I used the ready made product from the grocery's dairy case. Now, place fresh raspberries over the pudding. Sliced strawberries would be delicious, too.

Set the top layer on the cake. "Ice" with cool whip. Set a small juice glass in the center of the cake. Pour a little water into the "vase" and add flowers (advise your guests not to consume the flowers!).
Remove the waxed paper.

It's that easy.
