Strawberry short cake for a wedding cake?
Whipped icing can be bought from just about any cake decorating store. You can also use the Wilton mix found at Michaels. To make it easy use box mixes for the cake and just add fresh strawberries and whip cream for your filling. Then ice it in either more whip cream or buttercream to make it more stable. Don't forget whip cream needs to be refrigerated.

1 quart fresh strawberries (or more if you like)

1/2 cup sugar

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping

1 (14 ounce) angel food cake, cut into cubes (I buy the cake already made)



Wash, stem, and cut strawberries in half.

Add sugar; toss to mix well.

Chill.

Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar well.

Fold in whipped topping and cake cubes.

Spread cake into an ungreased 13x9 dish.

Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.

Cut cake into squares; top with strawberries.
Reply:Fabulous and elegant! Adorn with only the freshest most plump juicy strawberries. Maybe a few dipped in chocolate and goldleaf for the eye to catch. Use a wonderful vanilla custard filling in between your layers of yellow sponge cake or white angel food. And for such a formal occasion as a wedding reception stick to fresh whipped cream. You could even make it sparkle with a sprinkling of some fine twinkly sugar crystals. But take caution to the need of refridgeration.



Congratulations!
