My own birthday cake

Hi at this moment I would like to share how to make a quick birthday cake for your own birthday party or for anyone especially your own kids. This is a rich-of-fruits type of cake I make this time. So stay tunes....


Like I said, its so simple. It does not require your strenuous effort at all to make it happen. You will need...


1) 2 pans of sponge cake....If you want bigger cake, make it 3 pieces. Available in Tesco and its very cheap...




2) 500 mls of Fresh cream and some powdered sugar (I dont like sweet so sugar content depends individually)




3) Half bottle of unsweetened strawberry jam. This is from Tesco....




4) A range of fresh fruits....strawberry, kiwi and peach.....


5) Almond flakes or Special K flakes.....







Now, beat the fresh cream till it become fluffy and rise in volume. Add sugar in between. Do not beat too long. The fluffyness will become separated just like I did in the picture below....It will make harder to spread on top of cake later




Then put one piece of sponge cake on top of flat plate. Here I used cutting board...what a brilliant idea!!!


Spread the strawberry jam on top of first layer of cake. Because it is reduced sugar jam, dont afraid to add more to make it compact and volume but leave a space for fruits and cream. Then decorate with fresh fruits on top of jam. After that finish it with a layer of cream.


Next, put another layer of cake on top of the 1st one. Layer with jam again. This time, cover all angle of cakes with fresh cream. Decorate on top with fruits and surround it with almond flakes. Here I substitute with Special K rice flakes. 


Refrigerated for 5-7 hours and its ready to serve!!!



Add 1-2 candles in the middle to make it more lively for birthday cake!!!

Hope you like it....I like.....
