Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs
You couldn’t pick an easier dessert.
Not only is this a fun, easy family dessert, it’s also perfect for a party or pot luck dinner. It’s amazingly easy, looks great and everyone loves it. It’s easily portable or you can make it at the event. It comes together very quickly.
You can use any firm luscious fruit in season. These strawberries caught my eye.
Nice, huh?
You can use pound cake, like I’m doing here, or angel food cake or even brownies if you like chocolate. I strongly prefer pound cake over angel food cake because it holds together better when cut into cubes. Have fun with the drizzle – use white chocolate (my favorite) or try milk or dark chocolate. (Sprinkles could even make an appearance!) This is a great recipe to recruit kids or teens to make. They have a ball with it!
It doesn’t get any easier.
This recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd. You can assemble it in the morning, and refrigerate until ready to eat. If you want a small amount, use 1 pound cake and 1 pound of strawberries for 18 kebabs.

Hi. Thanks for recipe. I’m gonna dip my strawberries first in chocolate then assemble. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea!
I tried this with angel food and it tasted good, but I think the pound cake would have worked better
Love these! Just made them again. This time with chocolate cake. We’re tired of pumpkin. : )
These are SO good. Easy too.
Delicious!
