Ingredients

• 1 (18-ounce) box favorite cake mix
  
• 1 cup strawberry jam
  
• 2 (12-ounce each) containers whipped vanilla frosting
  
• Red food coloring, paste or gel
  
• 1 (14-ounce) bag Starburst Jellybeans
  
• 1 (16-ounce) bag Starburst Tropical Fruit Chews

Preparation
1. Prepare cake according to package directions. Bake in two 8-inch round cake pans.

2. Let cakes come to room temperature. Cut both into matching strawberry shapes. Layer with strawberry jam sandwiched between.

3. Tint frosting with red food coloring to desired shade, then frost entire cake.

4. Separate yellow jellybeans from bag and arrange on cake, following photograph as a guide, to appear as strawberry seeds.

5. Select and unwrap 14 green fruit chews. Warm in microwave 3 to 4 seconds, just to soften. Using fingers, press all fruit chews into one piece and slightly flatten. Using a rolling pin, roll out chews until wafer thin. Cut out two leaves. Gather up remainder and form stem. Place stem and leaves at top of cake.
