In Dutch oven or very large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows; stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

Stir in cereal, dried fruit and pecans; mix thoroughly. Firmly press cereal mixture into prepared pan. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes.

Carefully remove from pan by lifting out plastic wrap. Place on serving platter. Arrange fresh fruit in the middle of cake.

If desired, pour cream into Dessert Whipper; use as instructed. Use tulip tip to pipe swirls around fruit or on individual servings.
