Tuxedo Strawberry Cake! Moist vanilla layer cake, creamy custard and fresh strawberries

The way to making successful cakes and avoid getting stressed out along the way is to simply organize yourself

A perfect example of a Building On Recipes project where it takes several recipes to complete the final cake
And by tackling each sub recipe as a separate task rather than all at once is the way to go!

The white chocolate decorations can be made even a week ahead of time!

Notes for Success:

This larger cake will serve 16 people and I like baking my layers in 1/8 sheet pans for perfectly equal layers
Otherwise bake all the batter into 1- 12″ X 18″ cake pan and then simply cut it into your four layers from that.
(You will only need 3 layers though so save the extra layer in the freezer form another project)
Or of course just make a round layer cake by baking the batter into 2- 8″ cake pans instead.
