Ah, yes! Your strawberry themed cakes were always so good! Remember the one we bought at a lovely little bakery in New Orleans? That was my favorite and not because I didn't have to make it. It was luscious with butter cream icing and fresh berries all around. I looked for recipes for years to try to duplicate it and never could find anything close. In the long run, it was a blessing. It would have been yet another thing to give up. :)

Happy birthday to my 30 year old daughter!
