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.
