Notes
Soaking the wooden skewers is an absolute must. If you don't, you run the risk of them catching fire when grilled.
For extra rich flavor, skip the whipped topping completely. Use freshly whipped cream instead, it will give them a more authentic strawberry shortcake taste.
Want to get them prepped ahead of time? Prepare the cake and the berries, then store separately. Assemble just before ready to grill.
