A Decorative Swiss Roll filled with whipped Cream and Strawberry
A Self Decorative Christmassy Swiss Roll !!!!!!!
I have been meaning to bake this awesome decorative Swiss roll even since I saw them at N’s facebook page. N is my little sister who is amazing at baking. Please visit her page at Bake Bar
Then of course, I did a search in Google and found that decorative Swiss rolls are actually very popular in Japan and it was made popular by a Japanese blog writer whose name I cannot remember ( will add later) . However, most of the recipes of the roll on the web were also in Japanese. Therefore, I mixed and matched recipes and baked my one. You can also visit,
As you can see that, my Swiss roll is not perfect. I made few misjudgments. First of all my baking tray was small for the amount of sponge cake mixture I had made, so the cake become little too thick, hence difficult to roll. So keep that in mind. The cake needs to be thick enough so that you can roll it and the roll stays intact.
Secondly, I used brown sugar, which made the cake look yellowish. Had I used white sugar, the cake would have looked much better.
Thirdly, it is easy to make this cake but little patience will result in heavenly looks. I was too fast in getting the parchment paper off the cake, resulting is pilling of the decoration in many places.
Fourth, it fell off my hand. So be careful.
Now without much ado, let’s get baking this beautiful Christmassy Swiss Roll
