That is one of the cutest strawberryshortcake cakes I've seen love it!

Great job! What buttercream recipe do you use?

Thank you! I just use Wilton's buttercream recipe

Sue, your frosting is so smooth. Do you use a special shortening?

Hi Sue! How did you frost this? Specifically the top scalloped layer. Also, what tip did you use for the strawberries? I'm thinking a writing tip with really thin icing?

Hi Katemegan! I used a tip 47 or 48 to make the scallop edge then smoothed it with a knife and let it crust then used my viva papertowel to give it the final smoothing. The strawberries were done with a tip 3 outline and then just fill them in. Smooth again with your knife and go over it with the viva towel.

Katemegan...no I use Crisco...but now that they have gone to no trans fats I do half and half with the Walmart shortening. Seems to help it a little from being too soft.
