To assemble the cookie cake, arrange the blueberries in the top left corner. Place the sliced strawberries overlapping in lines to look like the red stripes of the flag.

Place the leftover frosting in a gallon ziplock bag. Cut the corner of the bag and pipe in a zigzag motion in between the strawberries.
