Then I top it with fresh strawberries and bananas mixed into a small amount of store-bought strawberry sauce. (Marie Calendar's sauce is excellent). Then I line the edges with kiwifruit slices. This makes a beautifully delicious "A-" to "B+" Choice birthday cake. **This is not a diabetic recipe and may not encourage excess fat loss in individuals who are highly resistant to fat loss.
