Cooking instruction summary:
Procedures 1 Wash and hull strawberries. Set aside half the strawberries for garnish and puree the rest in a food processor. Transfer puree to a medium sized bowl and stir in lemon juice, zest, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside. 2 Beat 1 cup of cream with electric mixture on high speed until soft peaks begin to form. Slowly fold in strawberry puree and continue beating until stiff peaks form. 3 On a large plate or serving platter, spread 1 tablespoon of strawberry whipped cream on the bottom to anchor cake to plate. Top with 14 wafer cookies in a circular pattern. 4 Using a spatula, cover wafers evenly with strawberry whipped cream, then top with wafer cookies. Repeat until you have 7 layers of wafers. 5 Beat remaining cup of cream with two tablespoons sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, spread whipped cream along top and sides of cake. To create the star design: cut a strawberry into 5 equal sized slices with a small slice to cover the space in the center of the star. Place the strawberry star in the center of the cake and top with blueberries in a circular pattern. Halve the remaining strawberries and arrange in an outer ring along the edge of the cake. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight before serving.
