The new Twinkies suck anyway. Good luck figuring out what you're gonna make. I was going to recommend Strawberry Shortcake but I don't know if that's something you and your group would like.
I like trifle, but sometimes there's too much whipped cream for me.

It's super easy to make a strawberry cream cake, which I prefer.
Just bake a boxed vanilla cake mix or two, depending on how many layers you want. Slice strawberries lengthwise. (We have plenty available now that look great, just bought some last night and was thinking of doing one of these cakes myself, too.) Cover layers w whipped cream, then layer the strawberries (and can use blueberries too if you want) going across, and repeat all the way up. Save the best strawberries for decorating the top.
Always a big hit!
I hear ya, but to me, that is still quite a bit of effort, and would likely taste better than a scratch cake from me. Many bakeries’ cakes come from mixes for consistency.
Oh, I get it! I’m just saying that people don’t even realize that even bakeries use cake mixes! Next time you go in one, take a look out back and you’ll see huge bags stacked up along the walls. Many of those are mixes. It’s standard in the industry, save for a few who actually do bake from scratch. Mixes get a bad rap, but usually they perform better than scratch ingredients because they’ve been perfected for a long time. They also help streamline the baking process. If a bakery is a chain, you should be able to go into any of their stores and buy a cake and it should look and taste the same in each one. Sometimes cooks and bakers “add a little of this and a little of that” or change things around a bit and that causes inconsistency. Mixes help keep things the same, so the customer knows what they’re getting each time and can rely on that for repeat business, etc.
