In small bowl beat cheese, orange juice concentrated honey to blend thoroughly; mix in walnuts. Cut cake into 12 equal slices. Slice 1 basket of the strawberries. Spread 4 slices of cake, on one side, with some of the cheese mixture. Top with half of strawberry slices, with more cheese mixture; place on first 4 cake slices. Cover with remaining sliced strawberries. Spread remaining cake slices, on one side, with remaining cheese mixture; place cheese sides down on sandwiches.
