Does anything scream summer more than strawberries? For me growing up, strawberry season always coincided with the end of the school year and the start of summer vacation so when I think of this Strawberry Cream Puff Cake Recipe I think of summer picnics, pool parties, and BBQs. Luckily this recipe is not only gorgeous to look at (making it great for entertaining) but also easy to make. Give it a whirl-I think you’ll adore it!
