It's the Sissy's Birthday!!!

and she is off to the airport heading to BKK for an awesome time EATING and SHOPPING!!!! -.- i also wanna go!!!! sob sob TT all right enough of my nonsense. BOO HOO :(

We celebrated her birthday yesterday where I made a plain and simple cake - Strawberry Shortcake. It is basically 2 layers of Genoise (thick, airy and spongy) soaked in syrup (I soaked mine with Cointreau syrup) with sliced strawberries and Creme Chantilly (aka sweeten whipped cream) in between. I diced my strawberries and macerate it with Cointreau syrup for an hour. Only to find that, I need to add more Cointreau or probably macerate them longer in the syrup.

Hmmm can you picture the Strawberry Shortcake that I had made? If not, look below :)

I made another version, looking similar to Fraisier (which is made up of 2 layers of syrup soaked Genoise, lined with halved strawberries with Vanilla Creme Mousseline sandwiched in between. A layer of Baby Pink Marzipan will usually me laid above the top Genoise and decorated with royal icing piping). All right maybe you would wanna google image 'Fraisier Cake' to take a look. I am sure it will make more sense after googling. :)

This cake is for my dearest friend's Anniversary :) Wishing her and her other half the best. Forever and Always ^^
