This is not my picture of this cake but this is what it looks like. Mine was a giant strawberry shaped cake and somehow I never got a picture of the inside. But this is the recipe I used so I'm going to get it down here in case I want to make it again. It was really good and "strawberry-ish". I think it would be great with my favorite Cool Whip Cream Frosting (but I think everything is good with that frosting!) For the strawberries you can use fresh or frozen. I baked my cake in a circle and a square pan. To make the strawberry shape I cut the circle in half, placed the square on my surface at a diagonal, and put on half-circle on each side of the top of the diamond. It looked like a heart. I frosted it red, colored some coconut green and sprinkled it on the top for the leaves and made a stem with the green coconut. To finish it off I used chocolate chips and put them pointy side down in the cake for the "seeds". Of course you could also make this with two 8" or 9" rounds, a 9"x13", or cupcakes.

Thanks for the recipe! My daughter loved her strawberry cake! It was just a layered cake but we added fresh blueberries on top. She's a big fan of pink and purple and the blueberries looked purple to her!
I loved that potato/bacon pizza! My kids couldn't get enough. Its good thing I made two!
This looks so good and easy, too! Thanks Brooke!
