Woke up early today to bake a birthday cake for my mum.. haha... looked for a basic sponge cake recipe from the internet last night and tada... i baked my very successful spongcake! haha... and as for the decroations, i bought some fruits like canned peaches, kiwi and strawberries for the toppings... ah and before that of course i need to apply the whipped cream.. =)

The recipe can make a cake to serve 10, but since i'm using a small baking tin, i made 2 small sponge cakes...

The fruits that i will be using for the cake.. there's kiwi, strawberries and peaches.. the strawberries i kept a few to be chopped finely so that i can mix them with some whipped cream for the centre filling of the cake...

the cake when i just put in the strawberries with whipped cream in the centre... =)

Yup, this is the whipped cream with strawberries... i think it looked like yogurt.. haha

The cake before i add the fruits on top...

Yup.. almost done... with all the sliced fruits nicely placed on top... for the sides of the cake, i decided to do little patterns using the pipin jelly and chocolate... and using a fork, i just draw lines vertically upwards against the side of the cake...

A cross section of the cake... the taste well.. is overall okay.. but coz i put a little too much baking powder.. so the after taste is weird... yup.. so next time i shall improve on that!!! =)

Happy Birthday Mummy!!
P.S. Murphy insisted on putting my yellow birthday bear (which he claims to be a mongoose) in the photo...

See.. my birthday bear bear is still there...! =)
