Strawberry shortcake has become the state’s official dessert

Although lawmakers failed to deliver on some critical legislation this year, they did manage to find time to pass into law a bill that would establish “strawberry shortcake” as Florida’s official dessert. Senate Bill 1006 was the companion to a House bill filed in November by Representatives Lawrence McClure of Dover and Demi Busatta Cabrera of Coral Gables. Historic City News has learned that Governor Ron DeSantis has already signed the bill, making it official.
