Strawberry shortcake features biscuits or layers of vanilla cake or sponge cake that are filled or served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

The strawberry heart is so impressive garnish for someone special for Valentine’s Day or just make a cute dessert. I originally went for a more abstract strawberry design, with a pink background, green squiggles and yellow seeds. I also suggest reading these comprehensive posts on making Perfect American Buttercream, How to Stack, Fill, Crumb Coat and Frost Layer Cakes and How to Use Piping Bags. These collaborations allow us to provide you with the most accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive information available. Actually pretty happy with it – might use half an egg white next time but also learned I have to not be heavy handed with the paste.

I have a feeling the majority of issues people have with this style of cake is a result of using the wrong kind of flour or over-measuring the flour. You can also top with dollops or piped blobs and swirls of whipped cream on your cake and then add the strawberries. Use a small offset icing spatula to swirl and spread the strawberry filling into the whipped cream, but leave it streaky since the contrast of the red and white looks so pretty. I made this as a breakfast cake but it is so good that my family eats it for dessert," says recipe creator Yoly. The flavour with the freeze dried strawbs is AMAZING – you can almost taste a spring afternoon tea when you eat this !
