Today is my birthday! Yeah... So I made myself a cake. Since it was close to Christmas or X-mas, I made a Japanese style X-mas cake, which is not too hard to make, and very yummy. It's usually whipped cream and strawberry in a Asian style sponge cake. It's also sold in Vancouver from many Asian bakeries most notably is the Chinese-Canadian supermarket chain T&T. This kind of cake, from what I hear, is almost like a tradition in Japan along with eating KFC (fried chicken). This type of cake is sold at bakeries before Christmas and eaten on or before Christmas. Strawberries are very expensive at this time of year, which make this cake even more special than a summer Strawberry Shortcake. My decorating skills are not perfected yet by any means, but it turned out okay. Try it out, it is very easy to make! The sponge cake is a very good recipe, very light and fluffy. It's another not too sweet cake, but be careful not to eat it all at once, I ate half in one sitting, but it's my birthday.
