Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie ...

sounds good but since i have been stepping i am on a diet and i cant eat thosse nice good things,i hae a few pounds,and a couple of inches and i feel better so you will hae to enjoy it for me.

I make mine in the same way you did if making from scratch. If I am just wanting a simple easy dessert then i buy a sarah Lee pound cake and cut my strawberries up and mash them a little with some sugar (makes a nice juice) and slice the cake pour on the strawberries and enjoy.
Our dessert was leftover birthday cake (my birthday was on the 3rd).

I make mine with Bisquick too. I do not roll mine out though. I just do drop biscuits when I make mine. I spoon the strawberries and the whipped topping over the biscuits separately also. I have never tried to make my own whipped topping.

Hi, no I did not make a special dessert for the holiday, I was working in the evening. but only until eight, so I had time to go to the fireworks. We had a cookout at work. Hubby was there in time for desert, which was icecream and decorated cookies. Your strawberry short cakes sound very good, and you do so many "from scratch" things. I remember the only time I tried to whip cream it never thickened. It actually is probably better for you than Cool Whip, so I may have to try again soon. I use a yellow cake and make a dump cake. I did do the funfetti cake mix and frosting for the holicay, then also used "pink, white, and blue marshmallow stars. Divided the batter in half, and made two small ones, cause hubby and I do not need much, and gave the other half to my son and family, and they eat too many sweets, but they were happy to have more.

now i know where u have been stuffing yourself w/strawberry shortcake. lol it is good, isn't it? my favorite way to eat strawberries is to bake oie crust & eat them over it. i also like hot biscuits w.them to. i make strawberry freezer jam that my boys love. strawberries are hard to beat. the seasom is over for them hear. of course u can still buy them in the grocery but there is no comparison w/grocery ones & fresh ones. have a good weekend. jo

That sounds wonderful, you're a very creative cook! I think I'll try that with blueberries as I don't care for Strawberries. Too bad, they're cheap and nutritious but I just never did like them. My mom does, though, and she'll really enjoy your concoction!

That's a great idea. I love just about any dessert with fruit.
I didn't make any dessert yesterday but I have some leftover sweetened tofu cream/custard (we're vegan) so I just might make shortcakes tonight. Thanks!

LOL. I'm lazy. It's hard to find good fresh strawberries here after about March, so I buy them when they're in season, slice them up and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Divide them up into usable size containers and freeze them.

Then when it's hot summertime I buy the little shortcakes in packages and "cool whip" type whipped topping. I add a little sugar and sometimes a splash of vanilla. Thaw the strawberries, top the cakes with strawberries and whipped topping. Ta Da. Delish desert and no oven to heat up the house.

I had shortcake last week... yum. This morning I bought raspberries for a raspberry custard and a cantaloupe.

Anyhow, I do an "old fashioned shortcake" which is kind of like a biscuit, I guess, but more like a sweet and heavy breakfast cake. It doesn't get served with whipped cream... it gets broken up in a dish, sliced strawberries on top, and then served with milk poured over it.

We had iced sugar cookies yesterday with red and blue sprinkles over white icing.

Oh, there's a picture? I followed this from email notication and didn't get to see it yet. I'll bet it looks fabulous!

hi Ldyjarhead I do the s ame thing for strawberry shortcake I
make biscuits with a bit of sugar in them, then split them and add whipped cream and strawberries. I was brought on this version and liked it so well that I have made this myself for years . my only special dessert for the fourth was plain old red ripe juicy icey watermelon, but its hard to improve on that. lol
