Is there anything that better represents summer (to Americans) than strawberry shortcake? Now, I wasn't one of those lucky girls who had treats and sweets all summer long, but strawberry shortcake was one of the few sweet things my mom could get on board with. My dad loved it, and we used to 'make' it for him for breakfast in bed on fathers day, with storebought shortcakes, canned whipped cream, and fresh berries. I'm pretty sure it knocked our sloppy pancakes out of the park.
