Pretty, pink and personal
fitted with the paddle attachment, and
mix on medium speed just until combined. Don’t whip! Add the sugar and
mix until smooth.
Note: When frosting, we do half cream
cheese frosting and half real whipped cream.
Frost the top of the first layer with
frosting and top with halved strawberries. (The strawberry leaves are pretty
and you can eat them as well!) Place the
second layer on top, frost and top with
strawberries. Repeat with remaining
layers. Decorate the top layer with
edible cake pearls, fresh mint, and
more strawberries. Frost the sides of
the cake, if desired, or leave it as is.
