Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, just thaw and drain well before layering to prevent excess moisture.

What type of cups work best?

Clear plastic or glass cups (6–8 oz) show off the layers beautifully.

Absolutely. Use coconut whipped topping and dairy-free cake.

Place cups in a deep baking dish or box and cover lightly with plastic wrap for easy carrying.
