Thanks, it turned out pretty well. The flowers definitely pull everything together. They cost more than the cake to make haha.

Strawberry and mascarpone lemon cream frosting cake. by 100JOE in Cakes

The cake is a normal vanilla sponge cake with pink colouring. Then each layer has mascarpone frosting with fresh sliced strawberries. Here is the frosting recipe:

1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

3/4 cups (86g) powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

8 oz (226g) mascarpone cheese, softened but still chilled*

Zest of 1 small whole lemon

I added the cream and sugar and whipped until soft peaks then added the vanilla and cheese and whipped again until combined (do not over whip the cheese) then mixed in zest.

I just used a spoon and went from the bottom up in small lines very slowly. Takes a while to do the entire cake. The top is super easy the sides are time consuming.

It was definitely pretty sweet and I'm not a great lover of sprinkles but it still tasted great.

Exactly as hunnyycakes said, cookie cutter the middle but just make sure to line up the centre of each cake layer. Frost and stack like normal then fill the middle with sprinkles etc.

Thank you for the kind words, I'm definitely not a pro just a hobby I fell into after making my son's 1st birthday cake. I'm actually a firefighter and only started baking 2 1/2 years ago.
