1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
glaze: |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup water |
1/4 cup orange juice |
topping: |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 cup whipped topping |
1 firm banana, sliced |
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
1 can (8 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
2 kiwifruit, peeled and thinly sliced |
1/3 cup fresh blueberries |
