Swiss Roll Birthday Cake

 swiss roll cake... you know...what the title says!

*sigh* made my own birthday cake again....sad?  maybe~

But it's so fun!!!! 

I tried out 2 different recipes this time (one chocolate and the other vanilla)

-The chocolate one is based on a matcha (green tea) swiss roll recipe en.christinesrecipes.com/2010/…

-The vanilla is actually a chinese sponge cake in a cup en.christinesrecipes.com/2008/…

I basically sliced up the rolls and restacked them to make it more occasion-fitting? or else I guess it would be like sticking a candle in a twinkie....a big twinkie....

Both were good  (I ate everything.....) but i think the vanilla one has the mouth-feel texture i'm looking for, while the chocolate is prettier (more like the bakeries) but drier

Both have whipped cream and strawberry fillings. The cake is topped with chocolate covered strawberries....BECAUSE...... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! and i like chocolate.... 


NO JUDGEY!!!! hugs and kisses for all!!!!
