A friends daughter, Miss Safi, turned 5 last week and her only specification was that she wanted "a berry on the top" of her cake. According to mom, the "berry" she meant was a strawberry, (thank you Strawberry Shortcake)... so that's what I made.
The top is carved cake with fondant, the tiers are covered in regular butter-cream with vanilla and almond extracts. It's yellow cake filled with custard and fresh-cut strawberries, and I got this nifty little gum paste mold for the trimming.
This was a *lot* of cake, it was quite heavy... but everyone loved it so I am happy!
