Chill the sandwich
  1. Wrap the sando in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.  The chilling process firms up the cream and makes the sandwich cutting process easier.
Cut and serve
  1. Remove the sandwich from the plastic wrap.
    Use the sharpest knife you have to slice through the center of the sandwich, ensuring that you slice directly through the strawberries. Make the slice with one fast cutting movement, rather than sawing motions.  A quick cut prevents the cream from smudging up the strawberries and reveals a clean strawberry pattern.
