Cookie your cake looks fabulous!!! I made strawberry shortcakes, very similar to your cake!

My neighbor makes a cake that looks similar to yours, yet she is Spanish and hers is more of a "tres-Leches Cake" meaning "3 milks cake". They use 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can evaproated milk, 1 can coconut milk and mix the milks all together and pour over the layers of cake after they are cooled. You'd love it and it would be fun for you to try! Ofg course the cake is so moist it melts in your mouth.

I'm trying to figure out how I can swipe a piece of Cookies cake with out anyone noticing. Maybe I can fill the hole with some more whipped cream?

lol I.C. :) I was thinking about that when making this cake (filling the hole) that is, but I made it 1hr. in advance & thought it might go flat. When I served this cake I put extra whip cream & sprinkled cinnamon on top. :p
Cookie :)

Thanks Cathy, this cake was so Good & a nice light desert for the 4TH. Cookie :)

Hey IC - I've got the motor running - I've got the getaway car - and I've decided that we should keep the whipped cream in case we want more - so let's substitute shaving cream and I've got some plastic strawberries - you think she would ever know??????


BTW -the men in my family were the same way - I've seen it my whole life - I guess italian families will never change!
