- Once cake rounds have cooled, remove from cake pans and place onto a cutting board
- Using the cake leveler, remove the domes of the cakes
- Place one cake round onto the cake board
- Scoop 1 C of the frosting onto the middle of the cake
- Using the angled spatula, smooth the frosting out
- Layer some thinly sliced strawberries onto the frosting
- Place the second cake layer onto the first layer
- Repeat steps with the frosting and remaining cake layer
- Scoop 1 C of frosting into the piping bag and set aside
- Once you have built your cake, scoop the remaining frosting onto the top of the cake and use the angled spatula to smooth it out
