I tried this recipe and it was amazing! The cake was moist and fluffy, and the strawberries added a perfect amount of sweetness. The frosting was also delicious and light.

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the frosting was too thick. I won't be making this recipe again.

The cake was dry and the frosting was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think it would be better with a less sweet frosting.
