Easter Cupcakes

It's Easter! I did some cupcakes for the occasion. On top of the cupcakes, I did some flowers from royal icing. Since spring is in the air, I thought it appropriate for daffodil, petunia, daisy (sorry, these were from gumpaste, ran out of icing), morning glory and of course Easter Lily to appear...

Decided on carrot cake, from a cake mix shamefully. Well, my defense was that the flowers took a lot of time and, and.....
Alas, the Dreamy cream cheese frosting from "Rose's Heavenly cake" was indeed heavenly. Yum.........

Japanese strawberry shortcake

Unlike an American strawberry shortcake which uses biscuit, this Japanese version actually uses sponge cake base. Instead of regular whipping cream, I used Rich's Better cream for these 2 cakes to accommodate non-dairy eaters.

Through this, also found out that either whipping cream or Better cream is a lot harder to smooth out since it's non crusting and shows all kinds of imperfection.

Green Tea Mousse Cake

This is a cake I learned when stayed in Japan. It's a green tea sponge cake using matcha (green tea powder) with custard mousse and chocolate crunch cookie in the middle.

Doesn't it look great? I was extremely happy how it turned out!

Strawberry Swiss Roll

Made this sometime ago but just discovered the pictures:)
This is just a basic vanilla sponge cake base with whipped cream and strawberry swiss roll.
