Make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1/3 cup of sugar until mixture is smooth.  Fold in strawberries. 5. In a large bowl, beat the cream and lemon juice until mixture is frothy. Continue beating on medium-high speed and gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar.  Beat until mixture forms stiff peaks.  Fold half of whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just incorporated.
