Super Strawberry-licious Cake
Filed Under (Cakes, Sweet Stuff) by Colleen on 06-04-2009

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!!!
