Sheryl inspired Cake!!!!

Strawberries are flooded in supermarkets!!! Lush, juicy red strawberries!!! I cannot stop myself from buying these beauties. And each time I buy them, I know I have to innovate and make something different. When it comes to baking a cake, no problem, but when it comes to decorating a cake, it always ends  in disaster.
          Last month, I saw the pictures of two beautifully decorated cakes made by my friend Sheryl. She also sent me the link to Betty Crockers videos!! which helped her make the cakes. I did view them and thought that I would first try a no frill cake. I just envisioned these strawberries lying on top of  a cream laden sponge cake in a neat fashion. I set out on my task and aptly named my cake..... Sheryl inspired Cake!!
