Heart Shapped Strawberry shortcake

I made this for my bf's bday
This is the first time making,
I never ate strawberry shortcakes before...
so I'm really not sure if it tasted right >_<

How do you guys like strawberry shortcakes?
Some are made with sponge cake but I don't think that's tranditional... is it?

Does any of you have good strawberry shortcake recipes?

[justplainoldschool]

Do you mind posting the ingredients and steps on how you made it? Did you use cookie cutters or something for the strawberries?

Sure, it's no problem ^^
I was thinking if I should use this recipe for valentines day since it's just suited for the theme of the reds' and hearts'
but made it for his bday insted.

I used a heart shapped cookie cutters for the biscuit (DOLLAR STORE FTW>_<)
For the strawberries I just cut them with a knife

The variation I used is that I cut the biscuit layer thinner, and added extra layers.

INGREDIENTS
3 pints fresh strawberries
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease and flour one 8 inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons white sugar and the salt. With a pastry blender cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and milk. Stir until just combined.
