Summary

A beachcomber's delight, our summery cake celebrates the pleasures of a seaside stroll. Handcrafted by the expert artisans of Florida's We Take the Cake bakery, this stunning dessert features four layers of rich, moist lemon cake. In between each layer, you'll find plenty of strawberry cream cheese frosting studded with ripe, juicy strawberries. The luscious cake is covered in vanilla buttercream icing that's artfully decorated with feathery branches of coral. For a fabulous finishing touch, the towering treat is embellished with hand-sculpted fondant seashells.

Use & Care

Receiving Instructions

• The cake ships frozen with dry ice, which may have evaporated during shipment. This is normal. Please take care not to touch any remaining dry ice with bare hands. Upon receipt, remove cake from bakery box and place in the freezer where it will keep for up to 3 months, or defrost in the refrigerator overnight and keep for up to 7 days.

Serving Instructions

• The cake is best enjoyed at room temperature. If frozen, remove plastic from cake while still frozen and place bakery box in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, allow the cake to come to room temperature, approx. 4 hours before serving. To serve, run a large knife under hot water and dry with a towel before every slice. Store leftover cake in an airtight container, where it will keep for up to 3 days refrigerated.
