Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
One summer we had lots of strawberry shortcake as I remember mom making it several times before a cooking contest which she was entering her mothers' shortcake. The problem was that there really wasn't much of a receipe so mom had to try several different times while she perfected and wrote down the recipe.

Her hard work paid off, or was it all of her taste-testers, she one 1st place in the competition!!
