Strawberry Shortcake Cake

I love it when clients say, "I have a birthday coming up, and I need a cake.  Surprise me" because it gives me a chance to be creative and make "grown up" cakes.  This two layer yellow cake is filled with strawberry jelly between the layers, and covered with strawberry buttercream icing.  I decorated it with strawberry buttercream rosettes and fresh strawberries.  I even put the cake in the freezer for a bit to give the strawberries a frosted look so their skin matched the icing color and the red interior stood out more.  This cake was simply beautiful.   The final cost of this cake was:  
Icing: $3.55
Cake: $2.81
Jelly: $2.30
Strawberries: 2.63
Wrapping: $4.88
Labor: $7.50 x 2 = $15
Final Price: $31.17
