Happy birthday Caro!! I also go for strawberry cake for my late June birthday ☺️ although it is a casual and unfussy cake the NYT strawberry spoon cake is ~~magic~~ and everyone should make it. I’ll save this one for my daughter’s birthday in a couple weeks!!!

Happy birthday Caro! Anne, I have 2 of your baking books!! They are how I learned to bake and evolved into creating my own from-scratch cakes, going to culinary school and working in a bakery for 5 years. Thank you for making boxed mixes so easy, welcoming and also, so creative!!!

Hi Anne! I want to make bigger version of this cake for a larger party (20-25 people) would you suggest doubling the recipe and using more standard size pans?

Would love to try this for my husband’s birthday in July but he is an only-chocolate kind of guy. How would you adapt this recipe for a simple chocolate cake? Chocolate cake batter, I’m assuming, but what about the homemade frosting?

Make this today w blueberries and strawberries in the top for the 🇺🇸🇺🇸. Delicious! I just had traditional sized pans and still so fun! Thanks for sharing!!! Rookie mistake I took them out of the oven and forgot about them 🫣 so got a little crispy on the bottom but still great!

How convenient seeing as my (tomorrow) 6 year old requested strawberry cake for his birthday party. This must be a June birthday, thing. Anyone I know with a June birthday wants strawberry cake/shortcake. PS happy belated!

Thank you for this, Anne! I've long found inspiration in your use of the boxed cake mix! So happy to read this post.

Question, do you have a recommendation for 6 inch cake pans?
