Izzie’s birthday cake. I saw a much more accomplished version on mojewypieki.com, decorated with flowers, berries, mini meringues, but went with my own, just copied the shape idea.

It is my usual simple sponge, cooled and cut into the shape of 6 and then halved and gently drizzled with yuzu juice. I’ve made use of some frozen raspberries by turning them into a coulis, added 1,5 soaked gelatine leaves and when it started to set I mixed it into some whipped cream. Some of it went inside, the rest on top. Finished off with fresh rasperries, strawberries and coulis. And raspberry macaroons. 6 year old Izzie approved, I got a hug, a kiss and I was told it was the best cake ever. That will do me. 🙂
