I made Funfetti cake with strawberry milkshake frosting

a picture of the full cake with 6 candles and a fondant rainbow decoration

Two 8" layers, following Sugarologie's cakeulator

The edges came out a little overdone, but not bad for my first homemade cake

Looks great to me. Strawberry milkshake frosting sounds tasty.

Around 20% of the kids asked for seconds, so not as popular as a plain chocolate box cake with chocolate ganache frosting, but I'm proud of it.

I'm honestly excited to try out different flavors for the frosting.

I am on a forced diet, so I am living through these pics. I miss cake.

What makes it strawberry milkshake instead of just strawberry?

I would wager that this icing brings all the boys to the yard, but that’s just a shot in the dark.

(Maybe extra vanilla / creaminess??)

Condensed milk whipped into the butter. I was legit surprised how close the taste was.

Honestly, the dried strawberries were hella expensive. I'm planning on doing a syrup next time. I'm thinking something like a small box of strawberries reduced and then through a blender, and drop some of the condensed milk to compensate for the extra liquid.
