My famous strawberry cake

For the cake 

one box of (Better Crocker) French Vanilla Cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup veggie oil
1 cup water
Optional (using a little bit of Rum or Bailey's, moist the cake).

bake 350 for 30 - 40 minutes until done then cool completely on the rack.

The secret to have a flat top cake is 

to use the bottom as a top. (upside down)

For the cream 

1 cup of whipping cream (NO cool whip)
30 g (2 large spoonful) or more Sugar

For decoration
Fruits (I use strawberry) but , peach, blueberry, whatever works.
walnuts
no flavor gelatin for gloss look and maintain moisture of strawberries (add a little sugar)

 <-- inside,
arrange strawberries


                                         -->
                                         place the top cake

 <--
before put the strawberry around,
I recommend to put the nuts on the side.
(this pic did not do that, and came out much more messy strawberry decoration later)

start decorate with very thin sliced strawberries.




then
 second round

 and at the end, apply gelatin (+ a little sugar melted)  with the brush .
