I LOVE how much time that saves not having to bake a cake! Let’s make some Mini Grilled Strawberry Shortcake Skewers…
To start, slice the (thawed) cake into 8 slices, then each slice into 8 cubes.

I love doin shortcake skewers! I like to use strawberries with white and yellow peaches alternated with my cake cubes. One extra thing we love, I brush all sides of each cube of cake with sweetened condensed milk to make a beautiful carmelized crust. Angel food cake or pound cake are both AMAZING this way!! Let me know when you try it!!!
