Cut the cake dough in half and place one of the pieces in the background of the shape, with the side cut up. Brush the lemon syrup on top of the cake. Wash the strawberries and cut them in half. Put them next to the shape with the cut off. Fill all the circumference of the way with them. With a bag of confection with nozzle, fill in with ⅔ of the confectioner's cream. Do not forget to fill out the spaces between strawberries. Gently, put more strawberries cut into the middle on top of the cream.

Add strawberry coulis and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. At the time of serving, decorate with whole strawberries and remove the side flaps.

Win time. As this cake is mounted in a removable way, you can prepare it with a day in advance. This will allow the flavors to have better spread, leaving the sweet sweeth even more delicious.

Gelatin sheets can be dissolved in the microwave. To get a good result, place them in a bowl with cold water and leave it for 5 minutes to moisturize. Eliminate excess water and take the microwave for 15 seconds on average power. Remove and see if the leaves are completely softened. If you are still firm, go back to the microwave for a further 5 seconds. Repeat this operation until you get a viscous but not fully liquid result. He drilled the water that formed and use the gelatin immediately, adding it to the still warm strawberries puree.
