Can I Make Strawberry Shortcake Ahead Of Time?

You can make the shortcakes the day before. Bake, cool, and store in an airtight container until ready to use. Reheat the biscuits in the microwave and serve warm. For the strawberries and whipped cream, I recommend making no more than half a day ahead. Then assemble the shortcakes just before serving.

How Do You Store Leftover Strawberry Shortcake?

When it comes to putting together your shortcakes and storing leftovers. I recommend only assembling the number of shortcakes required. Individually, the strawberries, shortcakes, and whipped cream will last 2 to 3 days in the fridge, but the assembled shortcakes will only last a few hours once put together. The strawberries will make the shortcakes soggy and the whipped cream deflate and become runny.
