Lovely and light and perfect after an afternoon barbeque. The only slight problem is that with all those layers of strawberries and whipped cream, cutting the cake made things slide a bit at the end. But still every bit as delicious as it looks!

Strawberries and Cream
When B sent out info for her birthday party, she included a less than subtle hint that she would love a strawberry birthday cake if anyone felt so inspired to bake. As she knows just how much I look for any excuse to bake, I was quick to volunteer. Since I knew whatever cake I made would include lots of fresh strawberries, I decided to stay away from a traditionally iced (i.e., completely covered) cake, as we've previously learned just how much fresh strawberries can bleed through icing. The result:
Lovely and light and perfect after an afternoon barbeque. The only slight problem is that with all those layers of strawberries and whipped cream, cutting the cake made things slide a bit at the end. But still every bit as delicious as it looks!
