Can you put strawberries on top of a cake?
Follow These Steps: –
- Thinly slice 1 quart of strawberries. Using a paring knife, slice the strawberries lengthwise to between ⅛-inch and ¼-inch thickness.
- Place strawberries on the cake with their points facing out, Starting from the outside perimeter of the cake, place a ring of strawberries (flat-side down) with the points facing out.
- Create overlapping circles until the cake is covered, Continue layering concentric rings of strawberries around the cake, overlapping each layer slightly, until you reach the center. The strawberries begin to stand up as you create more rings, giving the cake height and dimension. Use a strawberry end piece for the center.
- Paint a thin layer of preserves over the strawberries, Heat ¼ cup seedless raspberry preserves in the microwave until soft. Using a pastry brush, paint a thin layer of preserves over the strawberries to give them a nice sheen.
