STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Process 1 ¾ cups sugar in a food processor until superfine, about 2 minutes.

3

Sift half the sugar, cake flour, and salt together in a bowl.

4

Whisk egg whites, water, cream of tartar, and lemon extract together for 2 minutes. Gradually add in sugar and mix until medium peaks form.

5

Fold in the flour mixture in batches, then pour the batter into an ungreased fluted tube pan.

6

Bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown. Invert onto a cooling rack and let cool completely for at least 25 minutes.

7

Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add lemon juice and incorporate confectioners' sugar gradually. Stir in lemon zest.

8

Mix strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries with sugar in a bowl.

9

Cut smile shapes on strawberries, add icing for eyes, and attach sugar pearls as pupils.

10

Remove cake from pan, slice into 6 slices, and spread butter on each slice.

11

Toast each cake slice in a skillet until lightly browned, then top with frosting, sugared berries, and a decorated strawberry.
