Make Easy Mini Strawberry Shortcake in Dessert Tins!
This summer create these easy and adorable mini strawberry shortcake tins as a unique dessert to share with friends and family.
Sweet summer strawberries are perfect for this dessert! 🍓
Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite treats and this simple method of creating individual tins is so fun and adorable. I loved onlinepiling these and the kids can even help out too. Using a store-bought pound cake is a great shortcut and tastes delclious. Feel free to change things up and use angel food cake or sponge cake instead. This idea is super adaptable to taste.
How adorable are these mini loaf dessert tins from Amazon?
They are so perfect for individual treats. These tins onlinee in various colors, have clear lids, and a serving spoon you can attach with a ribbon if you’d like. Consider making treats in them for friends, family, or neighbors as a treat and drop them off. I brought my parents some of these as a random surprise and they were thrilled.

Extra tips for onlinepiling strawberry shortcake mini cakes:
- This easily made about 12 tins for me, but this will depend on how heavy-handed you are with the whipped cream. You can always make another half batch if desired.
- I liked the sweetened strawberries, however, feel free to use store-bought strawberry glaze instead if you’d like. This idea is very adaptable to taste.
- Add blueberries for a red white and blue patriotic dessert idea! Also check out this patriotic trifle I made using similar ingredients and star-shaped pound cake.
- I am using a Wilton dessert decorating tool here for the whipping cream and love mine! You can use it for savory dishes too like deviled eggs.
- I reonlinemend enjoying these within a day or two covered in the fridge.
