Super Strawberry-licious Cake

One of my husband’s cowork­ers loves straw­ber­ries appar­ently and tomor­row is her birth­day. So I’m mak­ing a cake so filled with straw­ber­ries it’ll blow her mind!

Straw­berry cake with a straw­berry sim­ple syrup infused with mascer­ated straw­ber­ries between the lay­ers. Then I made an ital­ian but­ter­cream for the fill­ing and crum­b­coat. I then topped it with a straw­berry cream cheese but­ter­cream, a clear straw­berry sauce I made, fresh sliced and choco­late dipped strawberries.
Do you think she’ll get her fill of straw­berry?? ;-)
The frill around the sides is done with a St. Hon­ore’ tip… I need to work on my con­ti­nu­ity but I hadn’t used that tip before is my excuse! ;-)

What a gor­geous cake. Love the idea! I just bought two packs of fresh straw­ber­ries yes­ter­day for the pur­pose of mak­ing cake.

Thanks CD… I thought my cake wasn’t tall enough and wanted to give it more vol­ume. Hence the straw­ber­ries! Plus they are pretty!! :-)

Latonya was touched by the thought­ful­ness of the cake idea and could not wait to tell me all about it. She had to send me to the Web Site to see and has not stopped rav­ing about how great it was. Thank you for mak­ing her day so spe­cial. (Looks Great… too bad hubby didn’t get to taste it…lol) Thanks again for mak­ing her day!!!
