Dear Joy,

So. Firstly, I love you. Secondly, I love this cake. Thirdly . . . I really love this cake.

I made it for my Mommy’s birthday and it was a raging success!!!! Thank you for posting it up here ^_^ You’ve really inspired me to go after my love for baking and try new recipes that I’ve never done before (even if they result in unidentifiable globs of goop being permanently affixed to my ceiling . . .)

I look forward to your next blog post!!

Mel

I read this a while ago and everytime I went grocery shopping I would look at the cake mix and thought of this cake. Last weekend I bake it and it was wonderful!!! My mom bakes cakes for living and I do cookies, she was so proud that I finally made a cake (even with the help of a box). We finished it together and added the tiniest drop of red to the frosting to make a really faint pink. It is a show cake!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

I love, strawberry cake and I’ve been dying to make one for years. My only attempts, unfortunately have not been successful. They always come out tasting too artificial, for my taste. This looks so good though, I’m tempted to give it another try!

What a pretty cake. Love the pink and the texture of the crumb. I haven’t made a box cake in years and remember how moist they always are. Yum!

John- Next time you’re looking for a cookbook. This is the one to get. It’s endlessly charming!
m-vic- I know what kind of cake you Mom used to make for your birthday. That’s called a poke cake! Those are so much fun! And so colorful!
Julia- I used o shun recipes with cake mix too. But recently I’ve decided not to be so snotty. If a cake tastes good, I’m in!
Patty Pinner- AWESOME! Thanks so much for writing an amazing cookbook and sharing so much of you and your family!
carter- No self rising flour? I know- I went out to buy a sack especially for this recipe. It’s such a small amount that I think you could get away with using 2 teaspoons of flour and 1/8 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt. The box cake mix will have most of the leavening the cake needs.

Thanks for all your comments! I love to hear from you!
