Strawberry Pie Cake

YUMMMMM! My best friend's boyfriend thought of this cake for his birthday... a pie INSIDE a cake! So we Googled and searched to find out how to do this and found a recipe for a strawberry pie that was a little different. We were worried about the sides of a pie not holding well inside the cake so this pie worked great.  While the pie was baking I opened the oven door countless times because I couldn't believe how amazing it smelled! The juice created from the corn starch, sugar, and strawberries was oozing out of the pie and WOW, it was delicious! We made one NON Gluten Free (for the birthday boy) and one Gluten Free because I NEEDED to taste this pie after smelling it!

Strawberry Pie Forever - Recipe

We made a yellow cake and cut it in half to put the pie in between.  A whipped cream consisting of heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar was perfect and light for this cake.  We made some chocolate leaves using melted white chocolate drizzled to dry over real leaves.  This worked out so well and it was awesome to see each detail of every leaf take form in the chocolate.




I think this cake made it to Steve's expectations and I hope it tasted even better than it looks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!
