Or use strawberry ice cream and cake mix to make a delicious strawberry birthday cake batter shake! But you can use any of your favorite boxed cake mixes, or even a homemade cake mix!  
Here’s my easy homemade whipped cream recipe! 
I love to use this recipe for both topping and mixing in my milkshakes.
Combine 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 3 teaspoons vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Enjoy!
