The strawberries tasted fresh and natural. It was a good balance of sweet (cake) and sour (strawberries). In fact, they were not stingy with the strawberries, and that belied its simple look. I actually had assumed that there would be more whipped cream than strawberries. Boy was I wrong. Rated 8/10, cos I'm not a strawberry lover but it made me one for that 10mins.
