- Add the cool whip and mix until completely incorporated.
- Scoop the frosting into a decorating bag with a drop flower piping tip (#2D) attached.
- Cut the angel food cake log into small squares. You will need around 44 square chunks of cake for 12 skewers.
- Begin by making the 4 skewers with the blueberries. You will need 3 pieces of cake, 3 strawberry halves, and 3 blueberries for these skewers.
- Start by adding a piece of cake, then a strawberry, and alternate until you’ve added all 3 pieces. Next add the 3 blueberries.
- Lay the skewer on your platter and use it as a pattern to make the next 3 skewers, checking to make sure the strawberries and cake line up each time.
- Once your blueberry skewers are complete, make the rest of the skewers the same way, except adding an extra piece of cake instead of the blueberries. These skewers will have 3 strawberries and 4 pieces of cake.
