Even though this strawberry cake looks super duper fancy, it’s actually pretty easy to assemble. It’s also really affordable. Way cheaper than buying an expensive cake from the bakery I can tell you that much. It was so moist and delicious too, my dad actually had three pieces. I wasn’t going to tell him no on his birthday. My mom looked less than thrilled with him but oh well. I say the man’s 80 years old, just let him eat whatever the heck he wants at this point. He’s not going to gain 50 pounds or anything crazy in just one day!
If I have to make my own birthday cake, this is going to be the one I make, too!

Quick Tip: I wouldn’t recommend using frozen strawberries… fresh is way better.
