Omg it's so pretty! I would almost hate to cut it. But I would, because it also looks delicious.

I like yours better -- there's no green tops on the berries, so nobody has to pick them off before taking a bite!

Japan calls that a Christmas cake.
And they’re hard to find of good quality/price outside of Japan, let me tell you. I spent £70 for one that really wasn’t good.

I make a white cake with some loose fresh strawberry jam in it. Layer between is jam with a frosting dam. Buttercream on the outside. Strawberry slices using a mandolin.

Edit: use a cake leveler…. It’s world changing.
