So what is one to do with too many strawberries? Is there such a thing as too many strawberries? My answer is equivocally no. Since I had a refrigerator full of these little fruits last night, and they were on the verge of declining from their optimum strawberry-ness, I was trying to come up with a creative way to use them with what I had on hand in the pantry. By coincidence there was a recipe for strawberry vanilla cake on the side of Ms. Betty Crocker's cake mix. Now, like most recipes, I doctored it up and changed it a bit to fit what I had and what I wanted. This yummy cake has a strawberry jam filling in between the layers (suggestion of Betty Crocker) but I used lemon flavored frosting and decorated the cake with the remainder of my strawberries. Bill and I couldn't wait until dinner to try it, so we had a piece at lunch. I could hear him making yummy noises from the other room, so I guess we're in consensus that it's really good. However, I guess I've blown my dessert allowance for the rest of the day!
