I simply love those little red, juicy, yummy little things. I have nothing but the fondest memories of being a kid and going to the "Strawberry Farms" to pick flat after flat of fresh strawberries. At the little market, at the entrance of the farm, we used to buy fresh
strawberry donuts that were always eaten before we got home.
Here in Atlanta there is a huge farmers market. A bunch of the girls from church venture down during the Spring and Summer months to find grea
t fruits and veggies for us to enjoy. Yesterday happened to be the "Strawberry" run. I had three flats of strawberries staring at me and daring me to make something wonderful out of them. So, that is what I did.I decided to slice a bunch of the strawberries and then puree some to pour over th
em. They smelled so good and now I have fresh berries in my freezer. Now we can enjoy "Strawberry Shortcake" with ease.Today I splurged and made a family favorite....Strawberry Refrigerator Cake! I am sharing this recipe with all of you. It is pure heaven. I hope that you enjoy!

I Love Strawberries too, They are not ready yet here. But I remember as a child my grandmother would take me to pick them but I never came out with very many. She said "they should weigh me before and then again after because I could eat my weight in strawberries."
Enjoy yours I hope to get some soon.
Love the receipe! I used to make strawberry freezer jam with the stawberries, but I need all new jars and just have not gotten them yet. They have a great price on them now too - yummy:)
