Mixed Berry Shortcake

Mixed Berry Shortcake

My neighbor Cheryl gave me some mini angel food cakes, and since we were in the mood for a dessert, I decided to make a mixed berry shortcake.  I used strawberries, blackberries, raspberries & blueberries, and topped them with homemade whipped cream–they were a big hit and so delicious.  Thanks, Cheryl!

  • 1-2 cups of red raspberries
  • 1-2 cups of blackberries
