TWD Tender Shortcakes

Strawberry Shortcake should not start with a little round Hostess sponge cake! I am so glad I made Dories Tender Shortcakes. A few simple ingredients combine to make a most delicious dessert. Top these yummy cakes with sweetened berries and whipped cream for a perfect summer dessert.

 We have some excellent bakers in our TWD group, Cathy is our hostess this week. Check her blog for the complete recipe. I made half the recipe and got 8 shortcakes. I put 4 in the freezer to be baked another day. I love putting treats in the freezer, it is like finding hidden treasures. We just finished the last slice of Banana-Coconut Ice Cream Pie, it was delicious!

    Your freezer must be happy with that inside.

  21. Perfection...your shortcake photo is just gorgeous. LOL on finding treasures in the freezer...I have two teenage boys and "treasures" never make it to the freezer! At Christmas when I want to hide cookies for cookie trays, I hide and disguise them in boxes labeled "Chicken Parts" or "Liver and Gizzards" and things like that so they won't eat them....shhhh...don't tell!
