a picture of the full cake with 6 candles and a fondant rainbow decoration

Two 8" layers, following Sugarologie’s cakeulator

The edges came out a little overdone, but not bad for my first homemade cake

      Around 20% of the kids asked for seconds, so not as popular as a plain chocolate box cake with chocolate ganache frosting, but I’m proud of it.

      I’m honestly excited to try out different flavors for the frosting.

    What makes it strawberry milkshake instead of just strawberry?

      I would wager that this icing brings all the boys to the yard, but that’s just a shot in the dark.

      (Maybe extra vanilla / creaminess??)

      Condensed milk whipped into the butter. I was legit surprised how close the taste was.

      Honestly, the dried strawberries were hella expensive. I’m planning on doing a syrup next time. I’m thinking something like a small box of strawberries reduced and then through a blender, and drop some of the condensed milk to compensate for the extra liquid.
