I made this originally for a co-worker for her birthday. Now everyone asked me to make it for their birthdays! It's a fantastic dessert that "hits the spot". I doubled the glaze recipe, including the water but not the sugar, or it will be way too sweet. If you haven't tried this recipe, trust me, you can't go wrong. It's D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

This was DELICIOUS but I did make quite a few changes: Used a yellow cake mix and made the cake according to instructions...after it was done, I cut it horizontally to make two layers, on the first layer I put the custard and then layered fresh sliced strawberries on top (I omitted the glaze altogether, then I put the second layer of cake on top of my cake and custard and strawberry layer...on the second layer I added a layer of custard and then a layer of sliced fresh strawberries and then added whipped cream in small dollops around the perimeter of the cake and one dollop in the middle. My husband wants this cake everyday. It is DELICIOUS and has always been a hit at any event!
