Cream Cheese Topping

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• fresh strawberries sliced

Method

1. Combine cream cheese, cool whip, powdered sugar and vanilla.  Mix well.  *tip - you can adjust these ingredients depending on the level of sweetness you desire.  I added a bit more cool whip to mine.

Put cakeletts together by cutting cooled pound cake into 1/2" slices and then use a circle (or desired shape) cookie cutter to cut small pieces.  Top each cake disc with a dollop of topping and finish with strawberry slices.  Enjoy!
