Paulette's Changes:

1 box Strawberry Cake Mix
1 can Strawberry Pie Filling, DIVIDED
4 cups Powdered Sugar

Omitted:
1-1/2 tsp Vanilla
zest of one Lemon
2-3 Tbsp Half & Half

Because the can of Strawberry Pie Filling was larger than a can of Lemon Pie Filling - I measured out 1/4 cup of the Strawberry Pie Filling and set aside and added the remaining filling to the cake. When I made the icing, I replaced the omitted items with the 1/4 cup of Strawberry Pie Filling and it turned a pretty shade of pink and tasted delicious!

I made it tonight but changed the flavor to Strawberry and it was delicious!!! My changes are listed at the bottom. Thank you Goldybear - I'll be making this for the blood donors at the next blood drive! Paulette
