Place cake on cake plate. Wash and drain perfect strawberries. Hull and slice in half lengthwise and drain on paper towel. On top of the cake, place strawberry halves around the perimeter, followed by inner circles of berries until the cake top is filled. Prepare glaze according to package directions.
