The only thing better than a sprinkle cheesecake is a triple layer sprinkle cheesecake with 2 strawberry cake layers! This cake is not only fun and pretty to look at but was so incredibly delish! Definitely a crowd pleaser!

You have the ingredients for the cake layers and frosting but not the cheese cake layer. You tell haw to make the cheese cake layer but no amounts are listed. Very confusing
