I Love Strawberry Shortcake

Tonight we are having strawberry shortcake for dessert. And I took the easy way out and bought the packaged sponge cakes. I wish I would have seen this first:


That is a Twinkie. And you cut it at a slant and make a heart shape. Woman's Day used raspberries and raspberry jam, but I am thinking this would be a fun substitute for strawberry shortcake.

We are definitely going to be giving this a try this summer, since strawberries are one of my favorite parts of summer? What is your favorite summer treat?

Ooooh...I love strawberries, too. I like to make home-made ice cream...but I usually only do it once a year! Cookies and Cream is my forte!

Yum! I'm going to try that too, 'cause they don't have good round cakes here. There's no hostess for some reason.?
Anyways, I luff watermelon. Oh and corn on the cob.

Yum! I made some really easy shortcakes once with Bisquick I think. I might have to try that Twinkie idea though. :) I love strawberries too!

Oh, that looks so YUMMY! Never thought of using Twinkies and besides, I haven't had them in so long... I'm going to have to get some this week!
Thanks for sharing it...
Fav dessert for me would have to be pies, I made a red, white and blue pie once for the 4th and it was so simple and good! I'll post it soon!

My daughter LOVES strawberry shortcake, I will have to try the twinkie idea, that's too cute. :)

I usually cheat and use the store bought sponge cake too, it's just too easy. :)

Wow, how easy can you get?!?!

Om nom nom! We had shortcake for dessert too, but with biscuits and whipped cream. For some reason, it's easier for me to make up a batch of biscuits and whip some cream...than it is to do a grocery run :) Crazy, I know!

I think my daughter would love the twinkies, though.
