We (almost) always go with a strawberry shortcake for a particular family birthday. Thing is, we're beginning to feel like we've tried them all, or at least the best ones:
Are there any new entrants of a similar caliber?
We lean toward a very clean and simple Japanese-style cake, with lots of fresh strawberries, and tend to avoid anything where the cake itself is strawberry flavored (that's a strawberry cake, not a strawberry shortcake). But we're most certainly open to something that's focused a bit more on the short- part of shortcake (a more buttery/biscuity cake layer).
Any/all suggestions are much appreciated! 🙌
