My kids love these. I have made them using strawerry, lime and pink lemonade flavors of the cakes mix and frosting. Today I am going to try orange.

I put all cream cheese mixture on bottom layer and bakes. So good does not need any on top. Yummy!!!!!!

These were excellent! The only change I made was to add more frosting to the top. I used some leftover buttercream I had and whipped it with the frosting/cheese mixture.

WOW! We like all things lemon and this one certainly rated the five stars. I followed the recipe exactly the first time and it was super; however, the second time I saved 2/3 cup of the frosting for the last layer. I do like the idea of using all of it in the second layer and using Cool Whip for the top layer...will definitely try it next time and there will be many more times making this truly wonderful dessert...cake or bars...whatever you want to call it.

I made this with the lemon pie filling layer and cool whip on top as PTinker did. Absolutely fantastic! Huge hit when I made it for a party.

This is easy to make, refreshing, and gives you the best of cake and bars! It was a huge hit when I served it at a luncheon.

This was amazing, I did ptinkers version - it was outstanding. I'm making another one for the next family gathering. Sweet but not too sweet. And so so simple.
