So today was my husband's birthday and the cake was the star of the show! This is the first time I've completely frosted a cake inside and out with delicious homemade whipping cream. I don't usually bake cakes (I'm more of a cupcake girl) but after finding this recipe, things are going to change! The cake is a delicious pure vanilla sponge cake, which reminds me of the cakes I've eaten in Taiwan. This cake is so light and fluffy, thanks to the meringue and cake flour. This cake is simple in its ingredients, yet the trick in this recipe is the making of the meringue. If you over beat those egg whites, then its too late and you have to start again. Everything in this cake is homemade except for the fruits :P I've added peaches between the cakes and pineapple, peaches and papaya on the top. The next step for me is to improve my decorating skills and experiment with difference decorating styles. While I'm writing this, there is only a quarter piece left, so I'll take that as a success! :D
