1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
Start by prepping all your ingredients. Rinse the strawberries and blueberries, then gently pat them dry. Remove the tops from the strawberries, keeping them whole. Slice your pound cake or angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. You want each cube large enough to hold its shape on a skewer but still bite-sized. You can even go bigger if you prefer, since the softness of the pound cake makes it easy to eat no matter the size.
Take a bamboo skewer and begin by sliding on a few blueberries, followed by a whole strawberry. Add two cake cubes, another strawberry, and two more cake cubes. Repeat this pattern as needed. Finish the skewer with a few blueberries at the bottom.
This should yield about 12-15 skewers, depending on how generous you are with the fruit and cake on each one. Once assembled, arrange them on a platter and serve them as is, or go the extra mile and top them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
