Okay, what are some tips I should look out for when making this?
user
Be careful that your oven doesn’t get too hot, otherwise your shortcake will end up burned.  Also, if you’re using strawberries that aren’t particularly sweet, you might want to add a little more sugar.  And finally, I’d recommend adding a little vanilla extract to your mixture, and a few sprinkles of sugar for the berries, to bring out their flavor.

I’d suggest adding about half a teaspoon, although that depends on the other ingredients in your mixture, and how much you think the strawberries need.
