Lovely DJ. I would love a slice too please.

yum a slice 4 me 2 thanks

Thanks all, it was a big hit, we had it at the end of the races with a welcome cup of tea.
There were only two slices left and we have them away as couldn't bring home on the train 

It lasted fine too and I'd made a cool box out of foil in a cardboard box and chilly packs as it was a sunny day and made from cream cheese.

Next time I'd put sliced strawbs on all 3 inside layers. The jam and frosting layer sort of disappeared.

I didn't use my usual non TMX sponge as I needed a strong sponge to cope with four layers and fresh strawbs.

It's so good when an idea works.

Apart from buying from a person who makes cakes, does anyone know where you can buy cheap cardboard cake boxes (in different sizes). And approx cost?

[obbie]

CP google just came up with heaps, and wholesale too.

[CreamPuff63]

Thanks obbie ill have a look. I won't need a huge quantity as its just for when you need to take a dessert etc somewhere and don't want to worry about having to remember to bring the plastic container home ( such a hassle)

Don't I know it CP, still trying to get DH to remember my best tin from his new work place, trouble is he's only there occasionally. Hope he remembers before we move!

Was yours a surprise for your DH?
