If you are not sure about cutting out the shape of Strawberry Shortcake yourself, you could use this Strawberry Shortcake cake pan instead. Then you will have the shape that you need and you will just have to decorate the cake.
These Pink
Heart Candy Wrappers
will go perfectly with the strawberry shortcake party theme and this
cake. You can personalize them however you would like. A good idea is
to put the age of the birthday girl in the hearts as shown on the Sample
Candy Wrappers
page.
