I made this Suitcase Cake as a going away cake for a couple of friends of ours. I got the idea from this site and just changed it to my needs. I did 2 layers of chocolate cake mix and the middle, after it cooled, I did a layer of hot fudge melted and spread, then a layer of fresh sliced strawberries, then another layer of hot fudge and topped it off with a mix I made myself of strawberry seedless spread (like smuckers) and then mixed it up with some confectioner sugar, it was good. Only thing I recommend is don’t add the strawberries unless you can do it all the same day cause I did mine the night before and the strawberries shriveled.
I iced the cake with a fudge icing out of a can and the rest is fondant. This is the first time I ever, ever made a cake like this. It was a big hit!
Very cute cake! Thank you for the tip on the strawberries – I’ve been wanting to create a cake with fresh fruit so it was good to know :)
This cake is amazing! Thanks for the idea! My mom is crazy about traveling and this made for a fantastic birthday cake. Everyone loved it. I couldn’t have thought of this without your cake on here!
