Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry shortcake is one of those desserts that is just as fantastic now as it was when I was a child.* What’s even more exciting is how easy it is to whip together on a random weeknight when strawberries are finally in season (I made an exception a couple months ago here). I used this recipe, which was exceedingly simple and took full advantage of the fresh berries and flaky biscuits.
*The same cannot be said about Pop-Tarts, Bubble Gum ice cream and Candy Buttons.

Hey! Rachel made these a while back didn’t she? It was drool worthy back then, and it still is
YuMMMMM! The strawberries look GORGEOUS!
Emily, you seem like such a talented baker! This looks delicious. You should open up your own bakery.

This looks delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever made strawberry shortcake before !!
In France it’s called “Charlotte aux fraises”. How cute is that 
Speaking of childhood desserts, I remember having this one at one of my earliest birthday parties! Thanks for bringing me back…and giving me an intense strawberry shortcake craving.
Thanks for posting this recipe! Strawberry shortcake is one of my boyfriend’s favorites. I’m going to make this for him =)

Thx for your wonderful ideas!

Looks so delicious! x
My fave strawberry “shortcake” recipe involves mascerating strawberries in sugar until they and juicy and pouring the sweet mix of juicy, sugary berries over a light sponge cake. Yum!

One of my favorite desserts, handsdown. (besides everything chocolate)
Thanks for the recipe, love it and going to try it out this weekend!!
Those look delicious and I love that you made the whipped cream from scratch. I posted on Strawberry Shortcakea a while back (http://22lovelyb.blogspot.com/2010/04/delightful-dessert.html) and cut corners by using Pillsbury biscuits and Ready Whip. They were still tasty buy probably not as fab as yours
Lovely B.

i was just salivating over a strawberry shortcake recipe in the babycakes book and deciding whether i have the energy or time to make some this weekend. maybe i’ll be lazy and just head over there and buy a few!
these look amazing (would be even better vegan though;)

This looks delicious!! I’ve never had this.. maybe i will try to bake it!!
Strawberry shortcake is one of my absolute favorite desserts! I agree, it’s just as good now as it was when I was a kid. Yours looks incredible! The biscuits look like they melt in your mouth. Beautiful pictures!
I think the bubble gun ice cream thing could be debatable.

The best shortcakes, and the easiest, are from a recipe on the back of the Bisquik pancake box! Try it, they are delicious !
Gorgeous! Every year on the last day of grade school my mom made strawberry shortcake for dinner, so whenever I see it I think of it and it was such a great childhood memory!
http://velvetcupcakeskvf.blogspot.com
Strawberry shortcake was my favorite desert in the world as a kid. My grandmother would make it every Thanksgiving just for me. Brings back memories
On a side note…how the heck do you not gain weight making all these ridiculous yummy foods all the time?!? I swear I just gained 5lbs looking at your pictures! LOL

I celebrated strawberries the other night by buying (and eating) a whole carton from Whole Foods the other night. Strawberry shortcake is so simple, I love it!

Oh My- that looks delectable! So pretty too!
http://www.littleblogofstyle.com/

Those flaky biscuits sound like a new twist on a classic recipe. Nice find! My mom changes it up a little too and makes chiffon cake from scratch for the cake park of the recipe. It’s family favorite
I too am very excited and its finally berry season! Your shortcake looks delightful!

It’s so hard to find a good strawberry shortcake, so I usually make them for myself… It looks so delicious, Emily:)
Hi Emily
I have an unrelated question about the Coach bag that you recently designed… would the bag fit a netbook? I have been looking for something perfect to fit my little Dell Inspirion 10 into and tote it around, and I think your design may fit the bill? Please let me know – could you email me/ contact me at my blog?
Thanks so much – great blog by the way – I will be returning!

Strawberry shortcake is delightful. It’s like the American cousin to the tartes aux fraise in patisseries in France. I just had one of those on vacation earlier this month, and it was perfection wrapped up in one little tart.
Thanks for the recipe recommendation. I will keep it for later this summer!
Looks delicious!
OMG that looks incredibly delicious.
Great blog! (:

This looks positively delectable! I’m definitely going to try it out, although that will require me to not eat entire boxes of strawberries before they even make it out of the car… No small feat.

Oh yum, that looks delicious. I should figure out a way to make these dairy-free so I could have a taste as well. Great post, mmm strawberries.
Looks yummy!
I totally get you on the bubble gum ice cream. It was my absolute favorite as a kid and had it recently and thought, what the heck was I thinking?
If you love strawberry shortcake, you should definitely try these Martha cookies – I made them on Sunday…So yummy!

big love from Montpellier en France 
Delicious!
You had me at strawberries!! I love them this time of year
mmMm…good. Looks like a sweet treat for a Sunday morning!
I stumbled upon your site a couple of weeks ago, and now I’m a huge fan LOL! When I get bored at work, I just pop onto your site for a good read 
Oops! Didn’t realize Petals and Lace was actually a brand name! *blush*
I’ll just stick with the name my mother gave me when I post.
YUM! That looks phenomenal and seems so easy. Must try!
Emily! this is my all time favorite dessert. I love strawberries so much. I had a friend in high school who made me a strawberry shortcake for my bday every year. For my baby shower a few weeks ago my mom and sister got me a fabulous strawberry shortcake but on top of all the usual goodies that come with the cake, the bakery added a layer of dulce de leche – one of my all-time favorites. It was BEYOND! so so so good!!! these look amazing. I have to try the recipe.
PS–I will definitely take you up on your offer to go to the blow dry salon next time I’m in LA! My cousin is a stylist and has a salon in laguna beach. I’m going to tell her about this place…she’s going to LOVE it.
Wow, all of the recipes you make look so delicious…I love to cook and bake, but can’t seem to find the time. However, I definitely want to try some of these. By the way, I am a new follower and I am completely addicted to your blog!
Oh my ~ I’m drooling! (And I had forgotten all about Bubble Gum ice cream
This looks absolutley smashing!
YUM! perfect recipe for memorial day weekend…I am also so excited strawberries are back in season. There are so many baking possibilities with them.

i see u’ve been cooking a lot!
that looks amazing – looks sooo light and flaky and easy to make. too bad i dont have an oven now, but i will have one when i get back to australia in august; YAY!
Strawberry shortcake is my absolute favourite summer dessert
I love berries in the summer! Just made a blackberry cobbler from the Pioneer Woman blog-delish.
If the recipe you used was easy, too, I’ll try it.
Annnnnndd I am getting in my car and going to the store NOW! I have got to have this for desert..and tomorrow is not going to do. I want it now! Thanks for sharing
http://greenink5.blogspot.com/
looks so good!! love how you used the glass to make them! i would have never thought of that!
http://theebrownowl.blogspot.com/
This looks so delicious. I doubt you’ll get a chance to read this with all of these comments but my mother and I used to make biscuits, and prepare the strawberries just like you did but instead of cool whip etc we just placed the biscuit in a bowl, poured milk over it and broke up the biscuit and then topped it all with strawberries. I was more like Strawberry Cereal than shortcakes but it was SO tasty. I remember having this for dinner some nights – I always loved random not normal dinner nights. ox
hello emily! it looks very yummy. you should open a bakery or a restaurant cause i feel hungry when i see you pict about food
I am speechless. I just had an hour long discussion with my boy about how perfect you are. You are really my role model.
i was full, and then saw this post, and am now hungry again. looks delicious!
These look delish! Another of your recipes to add to my list to try!
That dessert is spot on for summer! PS: Did you see your Coach blogger bag featured on Who What Wear today? I intern there, and just thought I’d let you know in case you missed it
http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full-article/www-hearts-1307/
I looove the biscuit idea! Usually, I like to have mine on angel food cake. But, anything with strawberries is heavenly
I can’t wait until my strawberry plant grows bigger so I can make this delicious dessert!
Excellent! I made mine in muffin top tins for individual shortcakes.
These look so amazing!
