This strawberry cake is easy to make from scratch with strawberry puree and strawberry gelatin. This recipe is worth its weight in gold to me as a caterer. I made this cake for a child's birthday party and it was a major hit! Frost with cream cheese frosting or chocolate ganache for a special treat.

Lemon Syllabub
A syllabub is a deliciously light, creamy, sophisticated little dessert from days gone by. I first tasted it at a supper given by a lecturer in seventeenth-century literature when I was in college, and it took my taste buds right back to the Restoration. It can be prepared as either a parfait or a punch, but as it contains alcohol, you may not want to serve this to younger family members. Eat it with a small spoon — and savor it!
