There’s nothing more perfect for summertime than strawberries, so we’ve rounded up six strawberry-filled treats that are absolutely delicious. Another bonus? They’re all from businesses in Indiana that are either owned or co-owned by women.
STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE SHOOTERS FROM MARSHA’S SPECIALTY DESSERTS & TIERNEY’S CATERING
Marsha’s Specialty Desserts & Tierney’s Catering in Avon offers mini strawberry cheesecake shooters that have a graham cracker base, strawberry filling, strawberry cheesecake, whipped cream topping, and a fresh strawberry on top. They include a mini spoon and cost $2.50 each.
STRAWBERRY CRUNCH CAKE FROM SUGARCOATED AVENUE
Alyssa Hines is the owner of Sugarcoated Avenue, and she offers a “Strawberry Crunch Cake” that is inspired by a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar. It’s a 6-inch, two-layer strawberry and white marbled cake with fresh strawberry filling and cream cheese icing in the middle. The cake is then iced with cream cheese icing and coated with strawberry-flavored crunch. You can order yours for $50, or without the strawberry filling for $45.

There’s plenty to share – but only if you feel like it.
