December 30, 2017 at 9:47 pmIt was very hard to get frozen strawberries to become liquid with only 2TLBS of water. I ended up mixing in mixer. Still did not pour like the video showed. Never went all down in the holes. What was your secret?

December 15, 2017 at 4:00 pmThe Strawberry Cake Mix didn’t call for butter. It called for oil. The pudding and milk mixture was too stiff with the Cool Whip. It was very hard to spread on top of cake…didn’t cover the cake. Was additional Cool Whip used to make it look like the picture?
