Heat the oven to 200oC. Bake the shortcakes until Golden in color, about 10-15 minutes. Each finished putting the cake on a flat surface.
On the first layer put the cream and strawberries, cover with a second cake layer and again put the cream on top and sprinkles (or other addition). Unsuccessful cakes break into crumbs and sprinkle it on the sides. Leave the cake for impregnation in the refrigerator overnight.
