Overall, I thought these towers were a bit too much work for the payoff. I don't think I'll be making them again.

The towers were a bit too tall and they fell over. I think I'll make them shorter next time.

I had a hard time finding ladyfingers. I ended up using graham crackers instead.

The towers were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

These towers are a great way to use up leftover strawberries. I always have a few strawberries left over after making a smoothie or fruit salad, and these towers are the perfect way to use them up.
