Fill the bottom with cake. Create a single row of cake around the edges and pack the bottom layer so the sides don’t budge.
Place strawberry halves around the edge, top side down, on top of the cake. Make sure each touches the next.
Fill the center with strawberry chunks.
Use half of the Champagne Mascarpone Whipped Cream and cover the strawberries. Gently push down on the sides to fill the gaps between the strawberries.
Repeat steps 7 to 10. Smooth out the whipped cream on top and decorate as desired.
