Strawberry Shortcake Approved!

Welcome to Stawberryland where the berries & their pals are soaking up Mr. Sun and smelling super sweet! 

If you’re new to the area, I’d skip the visit to Angel Cake she is a bit airy, and Lemon Meringue has been tart ever since Huckleberry Pie wouldn’t let her pet Pupcake.  Blueberry Muffin isn’t quite ripe for conversation, and Apple Dumplin is napping for the next couple of months.

My recommendation is to head straight to the namesake berry of the land, because today she is holding a press conference to announce her endorsement of her new favorite cupcake (in just her size) at Treet! 

Strawberry Shortcake:  “Today is a big day in Strawberryland because today is the day that strawberries were treated equally!  That’s right in Treet’s new Strawberry Shortcake (named after your’s truly) there is a perfect blend of fresh picked strawberries from our neighbors at Westmoreland Farm.  These fresh berries did not have to choose between being blended into the cake or mixed into the frosting.  These fresh berries were gentely folded into both to make an equal berry opportunity mini cupcake for all!  Stawberrilicious!  We will now take a question from our sworn enemies.”

Purple Pie Man:  “If I’m the berry best baker than why did you let Treet use the freshest strawberries?”

Strawberry Shortcake:  “Because we can’t stand the ‘Ratta Ta Ta Tat Tah’!  Who has their own theme song anyways?  Plus we knew that Treet would combine the fresh picked berries with the best local grass-fed cream and sweet Tahitian vanilla to make the yummiest cupcake we’ve seen in Strawberry land since Lime Chiffon visited Key West and things got a little crazy with a Key Lime Pie ”

We hope you’ve enjoyed your visit to Strawberry land!  Don’t forget to purchase our Strawberry Shortcake endorsed mini cupcake for only $1 at treetshop.com!
