April 19th was my father's birthday. In his memory I decided to make his traditional and favorite birthday cake - strawberry shortcake. My mother has made if for him every single year since they were together. She told me that when they were younger, strawberries were only available "in season" and that they had to wait until late April -- my father's birthday -- in order to get strawberries. Things have certainly changed over the years!
Once I got home from the grocery store, I realized that I'd forgotten whipped cream! Whoops
Since I was out of bowls, I had to use a plate. Not the most "dep" cake, but it was delicious.
It was sooooo good that I had some for breakfast this morning also. PS: Next year I'll work on the presentation and make some whipped cream also! Perhaps we can make this for Avi and Belle when we visit :)
