    The original recipe called for Angel food cake. I did not use it
    because I do not care for Angel food cake.

1731.6how 'bout frozen berries??ISLNDS::COLELLAThen queue to another printer!!Thu Aug 10 1989 20:588
    I want to make this for my mom's birthday (it's actually today but
    we're having the party Saturday night).  Is it OK to use frozen
    strawberries??  We have a bunch of them we picked from our garden
    sitting in the freezer and I'd rather use those than the "fresh
    red-on-top-white-on-the-bottom" strawberries you get in the
    supermarkets.

1731.7sure, use the frozen ones.CSG001::SCHOFIELDFri Aug 11 1989 13:0412
    I made this and it's FANTASTIC! I used Angel Food cake and it worked
    fine.
    
    As for the frozen strawberries, I think it might work, but you'll
    need to drain them pretty well. If you're going to decorate the
    top, you might want to use the fresh ones (only on the top).
    
    Also, I used more cool whip. It's the only thing with fat in the
    whole recipe. (providing  you use non fat yogurt and angel food
    cake.)

1731.8I thought it had a lot of chemicals.PARITY::DDAVISLong-cool woman in a black dressFri Aug 11 1989 17:203

    I didn't think Cool Whip had fat in it.  does it???
1731.9Whipped lardCOMET::TIMPSONNew and Improved...Fri Aug 11 1989 18:083
    Cool Whip is fat.  Read the ingrediants some time.

1731.10just what's in it??ISLNDS::COLELLAThen queue to another printer!!Fri Aug 11 1989 18:346
    It's nondairy, which means no cream not no fat.  I guess it's good
    for people who are allergic to milk and dairy products.  Is it really
    lard, though??  I thought it was oils with no cholesterol!  I'll
    check when I buy it tonight.

1731.11CIMNET::GLADDINGNoters do it with a 8-)Mon Aug 14 1989 15:134
    Cool Whip contains Palm and Kernel oils - the absolute worst
    for people who are watching their cholesterol.

1731.12try not to think about it!ISLNDS::COLELLAThen queue to another printer!!Tue Aug 15 1989 12:066
    Yeah, I checked out the label when I bought it.  The stuff is a
    mixture of hydrogenated vegetable and tropical oils.  Gross!  The
    cake tasted great though!!

1731.13Any alternatives???PARITY::DDAVISLong-cool woman in a black dressTue Aug 15 1989 13:327
    Wow!  That's awful...seems that the real thing, as bad as that is, is
    better than Cool Whip.  Is there a better alternative?  Anyone have a
    any ideas, maybe with yogurt?
    
    Thanks for letting us know.

1731.14vanilla yogurt cheese??ISLNDS::COLELLAThen queue to another printer!!Tue Aug 15 1989 14:4710
    I haven't tried it yet, but someone had a recipe in here for yogurt
    cheese.  You can make it with vanilla yogurt and use it as a dip
    for fruits.  That's one suggestion.  I don't know if it would be
    too heavy on the cake (consistency-wise) though.  I don't worry
    about it because I rarely eat cake/cream/tropical oils.  For the
    few times I do I'm going to use real whipping cream.  Ah, but when
    will I make my next cake????
