Almost a Strawberry "Didn't happen" Cake

Posted by - Nancy

Now, I made every effort to bake and complete the dessert challenge in a timely fashion. However, the day I baked up the shortcakes (Father's Day) was the same day we rushed my little man to the ER with his breathing issue. I had removed the shortcakes from the oven and they were left cooling on a rack the entire time we were gone and then a bit longer because I forgot to bag them up when we got home at 11:00 that night. Then they just sat on the counter for days, when I finally noticed they were growing a bit of lovely green mold.

After tossing them out, I kept thinking I should get on with the challenge and bake some more up, because the biscuits were really good! Alas, pregnancy tiredness and general laziness got in the way and I kept putting it off. Finally I figured yesterday was a good a day as any, especially since it was the 4th of July. So in between making BBQ crockpot ribs and sides, I baked up another batch of the biscuits, sliced and diced my berries, and whipped the cream to produce these:











Yum!
