Thanks for all the ideas, I truly appreciate it! I hate it when I commit to a cake and then scramble to figure out how the heck I'm going to do it!!! LOL!! anyone have a good whipped icing recipe?? They don't want anything real sweet...

I have a request for this for this weekend. I figured I could use a yellow cake and make it like a pound cake. But, typically strawberry shortcake is pretty soupy (the strawberries and liquid).....how could I do that in a filling so it...
