My first attempt for whipping cream decoration

a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmpGo6pXvVwLMA05ld9hcBqV5Ot2dDoQGIEriavCCfucrKCQFGkjqBNYog9VayRmqIsa1QEopUDZdhVcA1KMwfz29EnjNNr2_zGSC2GzVMVZ_xNMlVKBnShUHZa49saTtO8QVgYq_LiCh/s1600/coco3.jpg">I bake this cake by using a 28cm X 28cm square pan. At first, i intend to do a chocolate swiss roll from Ching's blog 巧克力蛋糕卷 . I forgot to ask her the size of the swiss roll pan she used. But based on the ingredients from recipe, i think i will bake a "thick" swiss roll by the size of my swiss roll pan. (The weight of the flour +cocoa powder has been 130g)

Threrefore i made some admendment for the proportion of the ingredients. The siwss roll really rise up "thick", and it's spongy and light. I also realise that this is the same recipe as Pynn草莓巧克力蛋糕. So, i change my mind on the spot and decided to make it a layer cakes with whipping cream decoration!!!

I divided the square swiss roll into 4 parts (just cut it horizontally and diagonally).

I started to prepare the whipping cream topping.

I tried to decorate the cake, but failed a few times. Quite difficult to control the curl / flower by whipping cream.

DONE!!! I am quite satisfy with this small and cute cream cake!
