Prepare your fresh berries by washing the blueberries and removing the tops from the strawberries.12 ounce pound cake, 36 fresh strawberries, 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Thread blueberries, strawberries, and pound cake onto the bamboo skewers in your preferred pattern. Leave 2-3 inches of space on the bottom of each skewer to be able to hold them comfortably.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! These cake skewers are best when fresh and can be arranged on a platter for easy serving.
Notes
- You can use angel food cake instead of pound cake for a lighter option - angel food cake is light and airy while pound cake is sweeter and more dense with added butter
- Cut larger cubes of cake if desired to be the same size as the strawberries for better visual balance
- Strawberries can be sliced in half instead of kept whole if you prefer smaller pieces
- Add other berries such as blackberries or raspberries for more variety and color
