looks so yummy. i say put the strawberries on that cake from yesterday!
YUM YUM!!
Oh, I should make some of this for the next strawberries I buy! The funny thing is that yesterday I was going to post a photo almost exactly like this one (only with home made whipped cream on the strawberry) as the photo for my week's menu plan. When I saw that you had it here, I decided to save it for later just in case anyone clicked over to my blog from here. It just occurs to me that it would have been funny if I had gone ahead and used it. I guess we were on a similar wavelength.
sounds fantastic! thanks for sharing :)
this cake & icing look amazing. need to make asap!
