Strawberry Shortcake

Speaking of strawberry, we should not forget Strawberry shortcake！
In Japan, it is the essential sweet for Birthday, Christmas, etc.♪

I have made several of them for our family, relatives, friends for this Christmas.
Even though we are in Spain, these days we are celebrating events, like Birthday and Christmas with Strawberry shortcake as in Japan.
I want to eat more while we can find strawberry！
With Calon-Ségur we received and heart shape candle my brother's wife made...
