This was the cake they made, they did almost all the work. I only helped them to prepare the strawberry sauce.

They kept eating the digestive biscuits as they were grinding them. -_-

They did make a mess filling in the jar, so I had to clean up the jars before they could top up the strawberry sauce.

However, after they were done, they were shocked to learn that this was my birthday cake. They said this does not look like a birthday cake at all, they wanted to bake a cake filled with whipped cream and strawberry. -_-

They ended up baking another cake that night. :P

I did not have any strawberries left, so they filled the cake with peaches instead. The bunting was done by me, I added it on the following day. :)

DeleteHi, your boys are so sweet. :) can I know how you guys make the top jelly part? TIA
ReplyDeleteHi, it's in the recipe. It's a strawberry sauce, not jelly.
DeleteHi Ming, i love how you did the strawberry sauce. i tried to cook but i don't understand what you mean by all the strawberries broken down? mine was left with very little sauce left and strawberries bits. is that correct? how long do i need to cook actually? thank you so much!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's when the sauce turns thick n the strawberries are mostly incorporated in the sauce, some small bits left is fine. There should be enough sauce to layer around 6 small pudding jars. I did not time how long it takes, I'll try to update the next time I make this.
