Could you use regular cake or no?
Probably Cheryl? I think it would totally work!
I made this tonight as a practice run for future barbecues but mine did not turn out all fluffy and pretty like yours it was kind of flat and Bland looking in the dish any advice or tips on how you put in the cream Maybe?
Can I make the cream filling ahead of time and assemble the next day? Will it spread okay?
Yup Nicole – that will work great!
I was wondering also, but think it’s some other ingredient, instead of strawberries, cause not measure in tsp.
Is that supposed to say 1tsp strawberries and 1quart strawberries? I don't want to miss an ingredient
I’m so sorry Whitney & Cynthia – I completely missed that (that’s what happens when my kids run in and out while I’m typing!) I fixed it 🙂
