Three tier cream cake

For dessert at Steve's party, I made a super creamy vanilla sponge cake. I wanted the cake to be simple but also look a bit special, so I did three tiers. :)

I baked two sheets of sponge cake (the same sponge as the Swiss roll sponge), and made big Swiss rolls for the bottom and middle tiers. I put vanilla flavoured whipped cream in the middle and decorated also with a generous amount of cream.

It was creamy! Super über creamy! Cream with a nice and light sponge, just how I like it! I love cream...I am a cream monster. I must have had a quarter of the bottom tier...  It did definitely fill my cake hole.

Thanks to Steve for a lovely eveing and awsome fireworks!

Happy Birthday to Chris

Haappy Biirthday to you ~, Haappy Biirthday to you ~, Haaappy Biiirthday dear Chris, Haappy Biirthday to you ~ :D

This post is specially for Chris, my mum-in-law, because it's her birthday today;)
Happy Birthday!!

I made her a little blue rose cake with the "happy birthday" icing ribbon wrapped around. The small three tire cake came out simple and pretty (just how I wanted!) with white dots and a baby blue rose. :)


We're going to see her this evening, which is a good news for me because I was thinking how I was going to send this cake by post... (I don't think the cake would have survived if I'd posted it...)

Well well well, I'm off to see her now. Hopefully she will like it!

Happy Birthday to my sister and me...

In the beginning of spring, a bit chill day like today, my sister was born and shortly after her arrival, another little one was pushed to this world... that was me...
It was a big surprise to everyone, even to my mum and dad because no one knew that the big monster baby that everyone had thought my mum was carrying were actually twins.

It's been 26 years since then. Although we don't live in the same house anymore, don't share the same sir name anymore (oh, my sis even has a baby now!), I'm very grateful that we can still share the birthday treat together:)

This year, it's a three tier creamy mousse. The smooth little white mountain was destroyed by us in seconds! Happy birthday to my sister & me :D And specially, thanks to my mum and dad.

晴太郎 Cake

My sister gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy a week ago, and they came back home from the hospital today. My lovely nephew's name is 晴太郎 (Harutaro), which means a boy born on a fine spring day. Nice name,  right? I named him ;D

To celebrate my sister and her baby's return, I baked a little three tier cake with his name on it. ...Yes, I know... he can't eat it yet, so it was for my sister who did a great job in bringing a beautiful life to this world.

Harutaro, Happy birthday again! Sleep well, eat well, grow well!
And, congratulations again to my sister and her husband;) Look at them, so sweet:D
