A beautifully styled close-up of a berry shortcake dessert featuring layers of light, fluffy sponge cake filled with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, adorned with sliced strawberries on top, garnished with a sprig of mint. The dessert is presented on a white plate with a green and white checkered cloth underneath, with more strawberries scattered in the background. The overall mood is fresh, summery, and inviting, with soft natural lighting enhancing the vibrant red of the strawberries and the creamy white of the whipped cream.
