Yummy Strawberry Cakes.

So very Swedish and so very Summer! Buy some already made sponge for cakes or make you own. Cut the sponge in half horizontally. Mash strawberries and mix with some custard and spread on half of the sponge. Put the other half on top and spread whipped cream on top. Decorate with Strawberries and some more whipped cream. Yummy and very fresh!
