  8. Once the shortcake is out of the oven, let cool slightly.
  9. Cut the shortcake into squares, and then cut each square in half to make a biscuit "sandwich."
  10. Place the bottom part of the shortcake onto a plate, and place some of the strawberry mixture and whipped cream on top.
  11. Top with the top half of the shortcake. Garnish with whipped cream, ruby sparkling sugar, and a sparkling strawberry.
