\nI’ve been dying to use this decorating technique since I first saw it here<\/a>. So when I got a last minute request for a birthday cake, I had it already planned in my head.<\/p>\n

For some reason, the local Superstore has a plethora of strawberries in stock . . . and surprisingly, since it’s March, and not strawberry season, they are in pretty good shape! \u00a0 Having strawberries on hand, and chocolate in the cupboard, I set out to make a Strawberry Chocolate Cake!<\/p>\n

I used a cupcake recipe for the cake and it came from Sprinkles via Martha Stewart. \u00a0You can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The strawberry puree smelled absolutely outstanding! \u00a0I immediately made a fresh strawberry daiquiri with the puree . . . no I didn’t . . . but I thought about it, but I had a cake to make!<\/p>\n

To make the cake, I baked it in my new 6″ pan (which has come in very handy!). \u00a0I made two 6″ slabs, and hollowed out each one of them like a well. \u00a0Inside the “well” I poured ganache . . . mmmm! \u00a0Between the two layers of cake I layered sliced strawberries. \u00a0Then, the chocolate excitement was not over! \u00a0Chocolate buttercream was piped using Wilton’s 1M tip to make the roses. \u00a0I love the peek-a-boo strawberries on the top!<\/p>\n
