38 - Strawberry Shortcake Fest

Strawberry Shortcake Fest
21 June 2008

Another year, another Strawberry Shortcake Fest; a tradition of the Brouwer/Veazey family that has been going on for approximately 22 years. There has always been some controversy surrounding the exact year that the festivities began, but photographic evidence suggests that at least 22 years have passed since the first. What started with a quaint family day of strawberry picking and baking has turned into an 80 person, invitation only, dozen cake production. This year, the attendee list grew so much that the Brouwer/Veazey clan had to hire a bartender just to keep up with the prosecco demand (I think we went through at least a case of the bubbly). I can't really imagine a more perfect day than sitting with friends outside, drinking sparkling wine, and feasting on delicious, home-made strawberry shortcake. Mangia!
