I made this today for my boyfriend's 28th birthday, his favorite cake flavors are chocolate and strawberry and it was PERFECT. He absolutely fell in love with this cake and so did I, even though I'm not super big on chocolate but omg this cake is to die for! Recipe is well explained, easy to follow and to make as well. It's a messy process hehe but so much fun!! 10/10 thank you for this recipe!! To anyone who reads, it's worth it, make it! It'll be the star of the day.

I just wanted to say thank you for all you do. I recently found your channel, and your videos always cheer me up. I’ve had 5 family members including my father pass away in the last year. I also wound up homeless for a while. I finally found a home and watch your videos when I’m down. Please don’t ever stop posting.

For anyone who is actually planning on making this cake: I tried it and it came out stunning! I’m a complete beginner in cake baking and the result impressed my friends and family! Few things to note: - The recipe calls for wayyyyyyy too much sugar. I ended up using only 2 cups for the layers and 3 cups for the cream (instead of the suggested 6-8 cups!) I can’t even imagine how sweet it would be, what I did was more than enough and it was still very sweet. - I found there wasn’t enough buttercream to ice the cake and cover it fully unless maybe you’re a pro. I ended up needing more buttercream. Next time I’ll just use a full pack of butter and add strawberries and sugar proportionally.

I would love to see Preppy Kitchen’s take on a big ostentatious wedding cake. I wish more KZbin bakers would create their versions of the celebratory cake. Feels like a great way of getting to know each baker’s philosophy while getting to see them go wild with creativity. Just a thought!

I found my daughter's next birthday cake! She will be 19 on June 19th. I wanted something spectacular for her golden birthday. I always bake fancy cakes from scratch for family birthdays. I was thinking about a chocolate layer cake with strawberry frosting and then I saw this video. Normally I will have an idea for a cake and I will end up combining ideas from 2 or 3 youtubers to make my vision come to life. When I saw this video I was soooo excited!!! It's absolutely amazingly perfect! I'm so excited for your book to come out. My husband already pre ordered it for me. My daughter and I are big fans. We always watch your videos together. I'm also a grocery store cake decorator so I get to practice at work. It just looks a little different at work because nothing is made there. The cakes are baked at another facility and brought in fresh. We keep them frozen until we are ready to use them. Our buttercream frosting comes in giant 5 gallon buckets and there is no butter or cream in the ingredients. Our whipped frosting also comes in a slightly smaller bucket and kept frozen until we open them. We also have time limits for getting stuff done and certain grocery store guidelines for how to do things. The only time I have artistic license is with the special cake orders. When I do the cake orders I love to go above and beyond and exceed their expectations. I love making people happy! I mostly love to bake cakes for family at home so I can make everything from scratch and take my time on it to make sure it's perfect. I usually bake the cake the day before the party so I have all day to work on it.

So I made this cake today, Saturday May 14th, 2022. A few things to know: Batter came together very quickly. BUT THESE Cake layers are super freaking delicate. Like they will fall apart very easily. I popped mine in the freezer for 15 mins. STILL DELICATE. Smh. The Frosting is way too thick to frost this cake. (Even with the fresh strawberries added) I added a couple tablespoons of heavy cream to thin it out. Make your frosting a couple hours or a day ahead to save yourself some time. Ganache drip: please allow it to cool or you will have a runny mess on your hands. Also cut your strawberries up in advance to save time too. Overall cake was delicious. Very moist. Difficulty: Intermediate
