The parties and showers thrown by my aunties are legendary; the food goes on for miles and the decor is nothing short of a Hollywood film set. It was this standard I had in mind when my husband and I set out to create this Sparkling Wine-Soaked Strawberry Shortcake.

My husband baked up an incredible shortcake, with a great fluffy texture that is not too sweet. We bought some plump, juicy strawberries from the farmers’ market, and he marinated them in a bit of sugar and wine to make them even more delectable. We served this wine-soaked shortcake with some fresh whipped cream and a sprig of fresh mint.

Sparkling Wine-Soaked Strawberry Shortcake goes great with a glass of sparkling rosé, and it is definitely worthy of a special celebration. It is pretty enough to be served at bridal shower, and simple enough to top off a weeknight meal. This one will surely pass the test in my family; I only hope that it will make my momma and my aunties proud. I certainly learned from the best.
