Strawberries & Blueberries Fruits Sponge Cake

Sponge cake is a very versatile cake and its a good celebration cake.  Sponge cake is soft and fully and its suitable for all ages.  Over here, lots of people love to sandwich the sponge cake with a layer of their favourite jam and whipped cream. Then, we will coat with it another layer of whipped cream and decorate it with fruits and such.  Since its beginning of spring, I decided to give our customer a touch of spring but colouring the whipped cream light green. I also decided to lavish it with strawberries and blueberries.  Here's a photo or two of my fruits sponge cake.

I showed these photos to a friend of mine and she said...its so Asian...you can find these cakes in most Asian bakeries....

Oh well....as long as it looks nice and taste heavenly....it doesn't matter.... yummylicious!!!

Jelly Cakes, Cream & Jam Matchsticks...is it Aussie?

Jelly cake is pretty similar to lamingtons, I guess. So, is it Australian? What's the history of this little cake? Hmm...am still finding for the story behind this though. I have heard about the history about lamingtons though...pretty interesting.  And what about matchsticks...is it another Aussie made dessert? I have no answers for you guys but in my humble opinion, YES!!!  So, what's jelly cakes? Its a sponge cake baked in a cupcake mould, rolled into a jelly dip (I prefer raspberry or strawberry) and then coat with shredded coconut.  Here's a photo of my jelly cakes.

Cream and jam matchsticks...I really wonder why to call it matchsticks? Does it look like matchsticks? Oh well, its delicious and its easy to do too. All you have to do is to bake the puff pastry which you have cut into ractangular shapes. Once its cool, halve it and fill it with jam and whipped cream. Sandwich it together and sprinkle icing sugar on top. That's how easy it is.  Here's a photo of it.

All these goodies is just awesome for afternoon tea with a cup of brewed coffee or tea.

Enjoy!!!
