In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, gelatin and flour. Beat in oil and eggs. Drain strawberries, reserving 1/2 c. syrup for frosting. Add berries and water to batter; mix well. Divide batter between two waxed paper-lined 8-inch baking pans, one square and one round. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-55 minutes (square) and 35-40 minutes (round) or until cake tests done. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. In a small mixing bowl, combine butter and reserved syrup. Gradually add sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Place square cake diagonally on a 20 inch x 15 inch covered board.
