You can definitely make the shortcake before the party and have the strawberries and whipped cream ready to put on the cake when you serve it. You could use Cool Whip and then just have the strawberries waiting in the fridge when it’s time to serve. But I definitely wouldn’t add the strawberries until you’re ready to serve.
