[freitasex]

@NoLoveAvailable

thank you and Happy New Year!

[LJHines1991]

since u using a box u mitest well buy a box of strawberry cake

[MaudeJ]

if you mix the cream cheese with some sugar, and maybe a little whipped cream and strawbery preserve it'd be so so soo good

[CastlevaniaGirl]

The cake pans you have are good as marshmallow molds and it's good for other kinds of sticky confections. :3

[freitasex]

@CastlevaniaGirl

I will keep that in mind, thank you for telling me that!

[sesanner]

Brilliant, good sir. Brilliant.

A sweet, sweet joining of down-to-earth recipes, real ingredients, highly watchable techniques, and rather dazzling results . . . presented by a sweet, so real, highly watchable and rather dazzling fellow human being.

Every time I watch one of your videos, Michael, I feel like I'm home again. Do mention to those you see often how fortunate they are to share your company.

Tens of thousands of people appreciate you, too many to respond to, so enjoy!

[freitasex]

@sesanner

You are too kind :)

You can use icing instead of the filling, thanks!

[leonheart41]

[freitasex]

[Karol12358]

[mcuaron]

i have to make a 3 tier wedding cake & the biggest tier is 16inch strawberry cake...i have been looking for a recipe that will be easy and non expensive. because im only getting paid $200 and i atleast want to make a profit. what would you recoment?

[freitasex]

@mcuaron

I have never attempted or even thought about making a wedding cake.

Since I do not bake too much, I cannot answer your question, sorry.

[freitasex]

@ticklespot2424

I hate them because they are not rigid and you can spill the contents easily.

[CernitShopEurope]

what do u mean (and wtat is this) cake mix ? do you mean ready or i will make it ?? :D

[freitasex]

@CernitShopEurope

A cake mix is a cake in a box that you add eggs, vegetable oil and water to it and instant cake that you bake.

I hope I answered your question.

[CernitShopEurope]

@freitasex thanks .. i will find it at super market ?

[freitasex]

@CernitShopEurope

Yes at a super market, thanks!

[MapleHue]

When you put one side of the cake down on a plate and spread the cream around, I was like "hell yeah!" and then you show us the finished cake, and my jaws literally dropped down to the floor.

[bellefemmekreyol]

This looked so moist and soft!! you did a amazing job freitasex:)

[freitasex]

@bellefemmekreyol

Thank you!

[feliciajuly]

This looks fabulous!!!! Never seen anything like it but I have a party to attend tonite and have been asked to bring a "strawberry" dessert and this looks a m a z i n g!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[freitasex]

@feliciajuly

Thank you!

[nenen0114]

OMG... love it....

also think that those plastic thing dont work..

thank you will try it out..

[freitasex]

@nenen0114

Please make it, and you do not need to do the filling in the middle at all.

Thank YOU :)

[agronkis]

This looks soo delicious, just one question:

is it a bit too sweet with the whole jar of strawberry jam??

better have visitors, if it was me i would finish the hole thing in a day!!!

no kidding!!

[freitasex]

@agronkis

To be honest with you, I thought of the strawberry jam while making this.

I did not like it in the middle of the cake at all.

I would skip that and just use the frosting in the middle.

The mixture was not sweet and needed some powdered sugar added to it.

Thank you for your question!

[xoHugzKissesxo]

@freitasex About how much powered sugar would you need ? Thanks.

[freitasex]

@xoHugzKissesxo

I don't know... never tried it yet.

I would suggest 1/4 cup and taste and add more if you think it needs to be sweeter.

[thingman100]

:O wow it looks delicious!!!!!

*licks the monitor* XO WHY CAN'T I TASTE IT!!!???

[freitasex]

[freitasex]

I hate them because the pans are so flimsy!

[ilovekandii214]

[iBey0ndBirthday]

[LetzEat]

BEST STRAWBERRY CAKE EVER.

[freitasex]

@LetzEat

Thanks :)

And if I may say this, ... you must make this!

[freitasex]

@JELLOTRACKPRO

Oh it is very good, please try it... you don't have to do the filling in the center at all.

Thanks!

[michelle11yay]

[freitasex]

@michelle11yay

Thanks... hope you did make it !!

[SolabaS]

Dang man that cake looks delicious!

[freitasex]

@SolabaS

Thanks!

[Shortypaolo17]

wow i love to try it BTW im 11 years old i like cooking

[freitasex]

Thank you Paolo, and you are the perfect age to learn all about cooking!

[Shortypaolo17]

oh you are very nice

[MistressOfSin666]

I would love to try this recipe, would you say it's better than just a plain strawberry box mix? I bet your filling was fantastic, but for my class I have to make thick, nasty, sugary buttercream... BUT I just may cheat and use the filling inside, the teacher doesn't look in the cake, just on the outside lol... cream cheese frosting is to die for

[freitasex]

Better than a plain strawberry box mix? YEAH YES

You have to make this!

The filling ... I would add some sugar to it... I would go with Powdered Sugar.

See the filling was something that I just thought up on the fly.

Ok... I have to tell you Allison that I love your YouTube name!!!!!

[mongolbujig20306]

aww sry abot ur cake pans :( lol

looks rly good! :D

[freitasex]

The cake pans work... but I really despise them LOL

Thanks!

[jenniexpark]

ur filling wasnt that good cause you didnt adda any powder sugar

[freitasex]

You are correct, thanks!

[MistressOfSin666]

The filling probably tasted amazing and some people don't like the sweetness of powdered sugar. (I know I HATE it, but for any decorating like in my classes I have to use at LEAST a pound for the frosting) BUT yes for a stiffer filling/frosting you'd add about a pound of powdered sugar and I'd probably add about a tablespoon or 2 of butter. But I bet this cake tasted amazing.

[jenniexpark]

you dont need to flur you cake pans if u used nonstick cooking spray because non stick cooking spray is a mixture of oil and flour so there is no need to

[cakelover89]

THAT CAKE LOOKS SO GOOD THANKS

[freitasex]

Gosh, thank you!

[vincentruther]

wow can i have a slice? really nice video!

[freitasex]

Thanks, and yes you can have a BIG slice :)

[nowata09]

I love your icing, not very sweet

[freitasex]

Thank you!

[filzah102]

where to get strawberry gelatin??

[freitasex]

I do not know what to say.

I have never been to Singapore.

I get gelatin or jello at the grocery store next to the unflavored Knox Gelatin.

[filzah102]

oh and 1 more thing how do you know i am from singapore?? and where to get store bought chocolate?? do they sell gelatin in grocery store maybe i will go check on grocery store..oh and your video is so cool

[freitasex]

Thank you!

Your YouTube channel says you are from Singapore!

The chocolate frosting or icing is from the grocery store also.

I would love to come to your country one day.

I have only been to Mexico and Thailand.

[filzah102]

oh thank you..my country there's nothing special..my country is small but many different places..oh and your strawberry cake video looks so good and maybe one day i am gonna try it out..if it taste good i am gonna add this video to my favourites..

[freitasex]

I hope that you can find strawberry jello and try it.

You do not need to make the filling between the layers, that was an experiment and was just okay and not that great.

[filzah102]

so you mean i dont need to make that filling??..ok then i will not make that filling...how much it cost for you to buy that strawberry gelatin and store bought icing??

[freitasex]

Correct, you do not need to make the filling.

The strawberry gelatin was 50 cents or 1/2 US dollar.

The chocolate icing was $1.50 each, you will need 2 of them.

I will also put some metric measurements in the description, as I do not know if you need that, so I will do it incase you need metric :)

[filzah102]

what is metric?? Are you sure that the strawberry gelatin only cost 50 cents?? so cheap..oh i have a banana cake recipe do you want to try?? if you want try it pls put it up on youtube hehe =)

[freitasex]

Metric is grams and liters.

Yes here the gelatin is cheap, you can get 4 packages for $1 when they are on sale at the grocery store.

I would love to look at your banana cake recipe, I do not know if I would video that or not... maybe!

[filzah102]

oh can you wait i cannot give you the banana cake recipe at this moment..maybe the gelatin in singapore is expensive..oh do you have facebook? Msn or yahoo messenger?? if you have can i add you??

[claudiachuff]

[freitasex]

Just my opinion... if you want chocolate covered strawberries on your cake, the cake should be strawberry cake with chocolate frosting!

[MsNmedina]

[freitasex]

Thank you so much, and wow, thank you for subscribing!

[freitasex]

Everybody loves this cake and has great strawberry flavor.

[sabeene0]

thanks so much for the video really awesome , 5 stars !

i've got a question if you don't mind , see with the cream cheese i live in australia and the only cream cheese i know is the spread kraft cheese, soooo

do you think i can use it ?

[freitasex]

I am happy to answer questions!

The cream cheese is Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

If you do not have that available, don't worry about the center filling, the cake is great without that.

[Emelyx3]

OMG it looks delicious! and i bet it is

[freitasex]

Thanks and I think that it is pretty good!

[NonchalanceInvasion]

Thanks man, this really helped me out alot.

[Monica1810]

yummmm!!!

[Skulls2300]

by strawberry preserves do you mean jam?

[freitasex]

Yes I mean Strawberry Jam...

BUT that was the 1st time I had put that in the center of the cake, and it was okay, but I will never put it in the cake again.

Thanks for your question.

[Skulls2300]

this was your first time putting Jam in the center? why didn't you like it as much?

[freitasex]

Yes it was the first time, and I just did not like it, the rest of the family did, but I did not like it.

[Skulls2300]

oh, :S now I'm not sure if I should make the cake... well maybe I'll make it for my self first and see if I like it. looks good anyway, I hope it turns out ok when I make it. thanks for the video anyway, should be fun. I'll subscribe, maybe you have other good videos :P

[freitasex]

I like it better with just icing in the middle XD

[YesSirPlease]

well im not a very good cook but ive seen videos and here is just a little tip:

i saw your cake kinda moving it will be great if you add a little bit less of the filling or put icing on the sides with a filling bag

[freitasex]

Sounds like a GREAT tip.

Thank YOU!

[chiqquz16]

[ROXY9638]
