Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them thoroughly before using.
• Do not overbake the cake, as this will make it dry.
• Let the cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
• If the frosting becomes too thick, add a little more heavy cream.
• For a more decadent cake, add a layer of strawberry jam or white chocolate ganache between the cake layers.
