When I think of a good Spring or Summer dessert, strawberry shortcake immediately comes to mind. Strawberries are in season and it’s just a light and fluffy dessert. It just melts in your mouth!
You can of course go to the store and get one of the prepackaged shortcakes, but there’s nothing better than a delicious strawberry shortcake made from scratch!
