Mixed Berry Shortcake

Strawberry shortcake is a classic dessert that has never gone out of style. It is a dessert that is associated with summer, the season in which berries such as strawberries are freshest. While it would be optimal to eat strawberry shortcake during the summer, it is never a bad time to make and eat it. To spice things up, you can macerate blueberries, raspberries and strawberries in simple syrup to make an extremely flavorful topping. Making mixed berry shortcake is easy to make from scratch and will not take all day toiling in the kitchen to make. It is well worth it to make this dessert from scratch because it is that good.
