National Strawberry Shortcake Day | Strawberry Shortcake Parfait

The alternative name for this dessert is Yes Please because that’ll what I’ll always say when presented with a strawberry shortcake dessert. It doesn’t much matter if I just ate until I couldn’t eat anymore – strawberry shortcake can always be on my menu.
