A new law that Gov. DeSantis signed this week at the Plant City Strawberry Fest designates strawberry shortcake as the official state dessert. That's leaving a tart taste in the mouths of Key lime pie backers.

But key lime could keep its title as the state pie.

It’s the quintessential Florida dessert: key lime pie. Pucker up for a conversation with the owner of Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe.
