Notes
You could slice this in half and put the strawberries in the middle and on the top and add whipped cream to the entire dish or slice individual pieces in half and add strawberries and whipped cream. (I like to do the individual shortcakes because you can use several different fruits with the cake that way) You can use this with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches or any fruit you have on hand.
