"Berryful" Layered Cake

I had some leftover Pour & Whip after making the durian layered cake..
don't wanna waste it, so decided to make another layered cake with US Strawberries given by my sister 
and my own blueberries.
I think it looks pretty plain...
So, added some chocolate rice to make it look more exciting~
Nicer? Hehe..
I actually thought for a long time for the decoration...
I've never tried decorating a whole 8 inch cake with fruits before.
I had only a few pieces of strawberries, 
so decorations and fillings are quite limited...
I think my creaming skill is better for this cake~
I made this on Saturday from 10.30 to 1am!!
Luckily the cake turned out well!






First slice is for my man...without fail =)
this was taken on a sunday morning..
so it was his breakfast!
a pretty good breakfast right...?



A closer look..see the top layer which is slanted? hehe..
My cake was like a mountain before slicing..
and i didn't wanna level it, as i know the sliced away part will go to waste.
& looking at this picture, I have this "christmas" feeling! HAHA!


This is my first time cutting a cake into 3 layers and second time using this chocolate sponge cake recipe..
Still as good!! It's bouncy!! So springy that when you press on it, it will surely bounce right onto the floor..!
Oops..sorry..I mean it will bounce back to the original shape..
It's a hot favourite recipe for bloggers, do try it!
