Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs
  1. Wash 1 pound of fresh strawberries under cool running water and pat them dry. Slice large strawberries in half.
  2. Cut 8 ounces of pound cake into even cubes, roughly 1 inch each.
  3. Assemble the kabobs by sliding a halved strawberry and a cube of pound cake onto the skewer, repeating until skewer is filled, leaving space at both ends.
  4. Arrange assembled kabobs on a platter and garnish with mint leaves or powdered sugar.
  5. Serve creamy whipped cream on the side for dipping, or coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  6. Enjoy the kabobs fresh. Prepare and assemble shortly before serving to maintain textures.
