Ms Tereu's first attempt at a gateaux (French for flash looking cake lol)

I baked a choc fudge cake in a mini cake tin.  I cut two mini-cakes into four.  Use the flat pieces as the base and top.  I had fresh strawberries and whipped cream.  I added icing sugar and a bit of vanilla essence to the cream, it tastes yummy!!!

Spread cream and place strawberries on one cake layer. (Don't spread the cream right to the end or else it'll go gloop and spill out the sides when you put the next layer on)

Do the same with the one of the fat layers of the cake.  (It's okay to cut a bit off the top to make it flatter)

That sooooo does not look like the YouTube tutorial I was watching hahaha.  Spread cream around the whole cake.  I only used three cake layers or else it would have been too high. 

NOTE:  I think my whipped cream wasn't thick enough, it didn't hold onto the sides.  Next time, I'll beat it thicker.  (Plus, I don't know what I'm doing hahaha)

Not the prettiest but not bad for a first attempt.  I don't know how to use a piping bag to make the cream rosettes for the strawberries, so I cheated and used the whipped cream from the can.

SO, there you have it Deklin - my little chef in the making.  I hope you enjoyed this post.  For my other Strathmore darlings.  Give it a go.  Even if Mum or someone else bakes the cake for you.  Let your creativity run free and decorate your own cake.

Love you guys....Ms Tereu xxx
