Strawberry Santa Cake

By á-17891

What a great festive cake for the holidays! Adorn your favorite frosted cake with strawberries that have been halved and filled with a sweet cream cheese mixture and topped with the other half of strawberry making a hat. These are so cute!

Ingredients

• 1 baked and frosted cake
• 1 pound large strawberries
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 3 to 4 tablespoons powdered sugar (or sugar substitute, to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top, (enough for a hat). Clean out the whole strawberry with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already). Prepare all of the strawberries and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.

Once strawberries are filled, top with the 'hats.'

If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.
