Less of a tutorial today and more of an adventure in baking! A while ago, Kim came over with the idea that we could try our hand at baking together. Craziness ensued but we managed to product a perfectly good Japanese style deco cake roll out of it. We went with a strawberry theme inside and out!

The recipe we used is from the Create Eat Happy blog, have a look at it here if you want to make your own. The basic process is fairly easy, the recipe is for a basic swiss roll batter which is divided into various colours and then piped. First you draw all of the little details onto baking paper in various colours. Kim was clever enough to print a template to use under the baking paper. So we piped on the spots and stalks of the strawberries and baked it for a few minutes so it was dry.  Then we piped the rest of the strawberries and baked that too. Lastly we added the rest of the plain batter to make the full roll. In the end when you turn it all out you can see the pattern really clearly.
 Once it’s all cooled down you added whipped cream and strawberries to the inside and then wrap it up.
 Once it’s set in the first it should look something like this!
  Omg so yummy! These are the perfect amount of sweet without being too much.
    They go perfectly with a nice cup of tea!
 Of course some extra strawberries don’t hurt either!
 Now that I understand the process I really want to experiment with more designs and recipes! Seriously SO yummy!
