Wishing everyone Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!
I kicked off my holidays with this yummy strawberry cake. I wanted to make a Christmas themed cake, luckily I had a Christmas tree instant cake pan in my pantry. Voila, my Christmas tree strawberry cake was up in an hour and my greedy man finished most of it in just a matter of minutes.
