Step 4) Once the cake is cooled trim the cake to level it and save the trimmed pieces for decorating the cake.


Step 6) into a mixing bowl add butter (make sure the butter is at room temperature) beat it nicely with a electric beater for 2-3 minutes until soft and fluffy. Then add cream cheese (at room temperature) and beat it again until well combined. gradually add in the sifted powdered sugar and combine well to form a semi thick cream batter.

Step 7) Place a layer of the cake and apply cream cheese frosting on the top and then spread it evenly. Then place the second layer cake and cover it evenly with cream cheese on all the sides. Finally crumble the saves trimmed cake and add it to the edges to decorate the cake. Then some strawberries on top for final decoration.
