Today is Satoshi's birthday. Since we moved to Japan, I've been baking him a sponge cake with whipped cream and strawberries (mainly because the cost to buy a whole cake is quite outrageous!)
The box cake mix that I buy is often iffy-- sometimes it comes out hard, sometimes just right. Today's cake was no different, very hard on the bottom and light and fluffy on top. After I use up this box (there are two packets when you buy it), I'll try making it from scratch (since I got a recipe off the flour package.)
Here's the birthday boy!
I leave you with some photos of our second trip to Aramaki Rose Garden. We went back this past Wednesday.Hope you are enjoying the weekend!

Even if you were not wholly pleased with the results, the cake looks wonderful! I LOVE that fat layer of whipped cream in the middle!
