• STRAWBERRY CAKE:
• I used this recipe- good, but rather dense & you'll probably have a bit of extra batter so make a few cupcakes: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2008/10/pink-lady-cake/I recommend you try this one instead- it looks much lighter: http://www.jasonandshawnda.com/foodiebride/archives/1088/See *NOTES below if you prefer to use a boxed mix.
