Strawberry Pink Ribbon Cake

(Family Features) - Whether you're hosting a fundraising event or celebrating the completion of a support walk, continue to spread breast cancer awareness this October with a symbolic ribbon cake. 

Folded into loops and denoted by various colors, awareness ribbons are a subtle way to make a statement in support of a particular cause. Demonstrate your encouragement by whipping up a pink ribbon cake - the color for breast cancer awareness - using the Wilton Ribbon Pan. 

This Strawberry Pink Ribbon Cake uses a cake mix base for extra ease and convenience. Sour cream and pureed strawberries add delicious flavor and the signature pink color.

Once the cake has baked and cooled, continue to "think pink" and get ready to decorate.  For the richest pink, add rose icing color to homemade buttercream icing, or simply purchase canned white icing and color it pink. Perfect for a crowd, this cake serves 12.
