I have to admit, I cheated and just used a vanilla cake mix for the actually cake....
but it is all about the homemade frosting in my opinion.
Strawberry Frosting Recipe
1/2 whole frozen strawberries, thawed
1 cup butter
pinch of salt (not coarse)
3 1/2 powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
I have made it this way, and also with cream cheese substituting one of the sticks of butter for an 8 oz cream cheese.
When you do this you have to add more sugar.
This frosting is so fresh tasting and it is so simple.
I found the recipe here.
The above is a photo from Presley's baby blessing after party.
I made a table of tiny desserts - the frosting was perfect on such tiny cupcakes since it is kind of runny.
It was not so easy on a layer cake.

don't apologize about a boxed cake mix, they honestly taste better than from scratch!
