Zann turns 9 years old today. Have been planning to bake a cake for her before the Malacca trip. I almost thought I couldn’t bake one cos little bro was sick. Luckily still can make it. Used strawberry callubaut chocolate to bake this cake, with marshmallow deco and strawberry fillings. Took me almost a day to complete this at different stage.
It’s only a small 6″ cake just nice for all of us, including mom who came over.
The birthday girl helped me to decorate the cake. Happy Birthday to my big girl. ❤
I decided to use strawberry callubaut chocolate to bake this sponge cake. Originally was chocolate sponge cake recipe.
