After about seven hours, a thousand songs, five recipes, a cup of coffee, and a little less than a half of bottle of wine (and slightly tipsy me) later, I finished what Mr. Woo has named Leslie's Berry Natural Strawberry Cake! No boxed cake mix, jello, jelly/jam, or food coloring here!
I had a great time and probably milked my time in the kitchen a bit more than was truly needed but this was my way to unwind after a pretty heavy/draining week. Overall I think the cake came out pretty visually appealing and everyone said they really liked it -- though let's be honest, my family loves me and may have just been being nice. Either way, the cake got eatten and Mr. Woo's Granny had a great birthday which is all that matters.
You can see the rest of the of the progress pictures and the finished cake below.
