Strawberry shortcake is a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for summer birthdays. It consists of layers of tender shortcake biscuits, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. The shortcake biscuits are slightly sweet and crumbly, providing a nice contrast to the juicy strawberries and creamy whipped cream. It's a delightful combination of flavors and textures that kids adore. The cake is often garnished with additional strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
