Instructions
Prep All Ingredients
Cut the pound cake into uniform one inch cubes and hull and halve the fresh strawberries. Mix the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the whipped cream if using freshly whipped cream.
Thread the Skewers
Thread a strawberry half onto each skewer followed by a pound cake cube and then another strawberry half. Repeat the pattern until the skewer is about three quarters full.
Add Whipped Cream
Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter and pipe or dollop whipped cream on top of each skewer just before serving. Dust lightly with extra powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
Serve Immediately
Serve the skewers right away for the best texture since the pound cake can absorb moisture from the strawberries if left sitting too long. These are best enjoyed within 30 minutes of assembly.
