I found this recipe at www.bettycrocker.com and used it for a friends party. Everyone loved it! Here are a few tips to remember before you get started :) *You'll want 4-5 Limes to have enough grated lime peel for this recipe. *Rinse and slice the strawberries, then place them on a paper towel in the fridge for about 10 min. So that all the water is absorbed. If you place them directly onto the cake after slicing, they may be too juicy and water down the frosting. *Adding Lime to the either the cake or frosting is optional, but not to both! *For a whimsical touch add a paper drink umbrella to each piece of cake!
