The recipe was good, however it could have been written with the instructions broken down a little more, so you don't lose your place as much.

I have a question actually. I haven't made this as yet but want to. Did you ladies mash/puree the strawberries? And how did you keep the layers from blending in to each other? Thanks so much,...I look forward to your replies.
