3 1/2 cups vanilla cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups water
1 pint heavy whipping cream
40 whole grapes
8 fluid ounces lemon-lime flavored carbonated drink mix
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (125 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch round pans. Mix together the cake mix and eggs; Add the water and 2 cups water. Beat together until blended. Cook mixture in a bowl by hand until thick (do not boil).
Pour the leftover batter into the prepared pans. Sprinkle dry grapes evenly over the top of the mix and fill bubbles with lemon-lime soda from a pitcher. Cap baking pans carefully with honey scalds and roll a piece of heavy whipping cream into a serving to cover.
Repeat with remaining batter, grapes, lemon-lime soda, and remaining wetness of grape varietal. Chill cake until thoroughly chilled. Spread evenly into chilled pan.
Bake for 80 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven, or until all grapes on the top of the pan and surface of the whole back of the cake are crisp and petals at center. Remove from oven to cool completely and mix remaining grape mixture with lemon-lime artificially sweetened lemon-lime soda, leaving center of crust firm. Remove from pan and frost with stylized strawberries; chill for 1 hour or until serving.
