Hi again - about the strawberry basket cake....

What does "whipped creme fraiche" mean exactly? I couldn't find it in
the market - so, thought it might be just cream that I should whip. Now
I'm really just not sure.

If it is cream I whip, how much should I use and should I sweeten it?

I hope this isn't a bother and thank you for your help.

Creme fraiche is a type of cultured cream. It can be whipped
just like regular cream - yielding "whipped creme fraiche"

No bother whatsoever. I bought it, but you can look here for a
way to make it ... unless someone else has a better idea?
