Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought pound cake
  • 1 small jar seedless strawberry jam
  • 1 pint strawberries, sliced
  • 1 (1-pound) container vanilla frosting
  • Red, green, and brown food coloring
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Ice cream (any flavor you desire), frozen hard

Directions

Slice cake into 1/4-inch thick slices. Spread jam on the cake slices and then top with sliced strawberries. Cut cake slices into 1-inch circles and stars and set aside.

Separate the frosting into 3 bowls and add food coloring to reach desired colors (1 to 2 drops of red to make pink, 1 to 2 drops of green to make seafoam and 1 to 2 drops of brown to make cream). Make a glaze by combining the sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Separate the glaze into 3 bowls and tint each to match the frosting colors.

Place cake cut-outs on a wire rack. Fill 3 resealable plastic bags fitted with a star tip with each color of frosting and then pipe desired frosting over. Using a melon baler, add a scoop of ice cream and then sandwich the cut-outs. Drizzle glaze over cut-outs. Let glaze set. Pipe a star on the top of each petit four with the corresponding color of icing. Garnish with a small strawberry slice.

    I wish I had put in the work and made the cake and icing myself. I didn't like the chemical taste and the texture of the pound cake which was spongy. The only things I really liked about this dessert were the jam and the strawberries.

    This was all looks and no taste I feel as though a lot of sandra lee recipes are just for looks, the pound cake and the ice cream did not taste good together however when i've done pound cake and strawberry shortcake just in a sloppy bowl they were great...all in all too much work for too little taste
