strawberry biscuit shortcakes

a couple explanations about this recipe:
1. it was my turn to bring the snack for our small group & there are 2 girls who are nursing & doing the mspi diet so i made it my mission to bring a treat that they could have!
2. i don't have any sites to properly attribute for the recipe because i looked at a ton & this is what i came up with.
3. i have always had some animosity towards homemade whipped creme. my mom made it a lot growing up, and being an ungrateful child i overlooked all of her hard work to make us healthy & gourmet desserts & just wished for cool-whip.  BUT this creme is incredibly rich & sweet & i might just love it.
