Red Velvet Berries and Cream Layer Cake

Celebrating life is one of my favorite things to do. Specially birthdays. In our home we don’t just stay in a one day thing, we party for an entire week. Well, we don’t literally party for an entire week. We go out and do different things like go on a picnic at a beautiful park, have brunch in a special place, go to one of Disney’s parks or anything the birthday girl or boy wants to do. Like baking a red velvet berries and cream layer cake. 

For years I baked the birthday cake, and then we started buying them. This year something had me wanting to bake a cake for my birthday and instead of making a heavy frosting I wanted something lighter. That’s where the cream cheese whipped frosting came to mind. You’ll love this light, airy, smooth and creamy whipped filling with fresh berries. It’s the perfect summer cake. Here’s the recipe. Make it, share it and make it your own celebration cake.
