Mom is very particular about her storefront. One day, my brothers and I wanted her to make strawberry cake so we placed a sign outside of her pizza shop.
We had to take some time and celebrate this man that had done so much to help us out over the years. He was still up and very active and ready to party. We couldn’t keep it a surprise, just because there was no way that we could ever keep anything from him. So, I decided to just ask him what kind of cake he wanted me to order for him. He said, “I want you to make me one of yours from your own kitchen!” Well, okay then. I’ve always been pretty good at baking, but I didn’t realize that he liked it that much.
If that’s what he wanted though, that’s what I was going to do for him. I knew he loved strawberries, and they were in season, so that’s the direction I headed in. Strawberry cake!
I found this recipe for strawberry cake on the web and it looked absolutely perfect for the occasion. My dad saw it when I brought it out loaded with candles and he got a great big smile on his face. That smile made it all worth the extra work I had to put in.
Even though this strawberry cake looks super duper fancy, it’s actually pretty easy to assemble. It’s also really affordable. Way cheaper than buying an expensive cake from the bakery I can tell you that much. It was so moist and delicious too, my dad actually had three pieces. I wasn’t going to tell him no on his birthday. My mom looked less than thrilled with him but oh well. I say the man’s 80 years old, just let him eat whatever the heck he wants at this point. He’s not going to gain 50 pounds or anything crazy in just one day!
If I have to make my own birthday cake, this is going to be the one I make, too!
