Tall Strawberry Shortcake
Three layers of vanilla-glazed vanilla pound cake alternate with layers of vanilla buttercream and fresh strawberries. At eight inches high, it's the Empire State Building of shortcakes! Made with fine cake flour, butter, Madagscar vanilla, and organic and cage-free eggs.
Inspired because he likes strawberries but didn't want pink icing.=)
And some positive feedback:
"Sarah it's BEAUTIFUL! I just went back to the kitchen to see it (THE ESB of shortcakes), and I think there are some envious co-workers here. I really can't wait and I'm sure Michael will be thrilled - he loves strawberries. I appreciate your creativity in providing non-pink icing and OMG, cage-free eggs!! Happy chickens make a better world so we buy cage-free too."
and later:
Yes, it was as wonderful as it looked. You've definitely outdone yourself! As I told your mom, Michael is not typically a cake person, usually has a few bites and eats the ice cream. He made a point that this is the first time (he can remember) that he finished the whole piece. It was perfect in every way, and I'd recommend you make one for yourself and your family to try it. Thanks again!
Happy birthday, Michael!!!
