Cake 6 (another Vanilla Sponge Cake)




















My sister couldn't forget the first vanilla sponge cake taste that I bought for my birthday so here she bought again the same vanilla sponge cake with different toping fruit, the price is same however its IDR 131.000 (US$13 or SGD$ 19). The taste was quite different without blueberry jam inside it, and yes I forgot to take a pic of the slice of the cake. The toping are from strawberries and peach at first I thought that it's mango not peach. The strawberries were not fresh anymore and rather spoiled, me and my sister are quite upset after tasting the cake this cake is still as sweet as before but the no blueberry jam and most of the strawberries almost rotten and the price is same like the 1st cake I bought. Not a nice cake after all, is shangrilla hotel bakery standard is decrease somehow after 3 weeks only, definitely it is.

Cake 5 (Strawberry Chocolate Shot)

















This cake was bought in a rush by me for my sister's birthday, why in a rush because I didn't want her to know that I bought her a birthday cake so in turn I just bought it in last minute when the "Komugi" (a Japanese famous bakery in my hometown) almost close, and this cake was the only left. The price is about IDR 160.000 or US$16 or SGD$ 23.
















After tried a slice of the cake it turned out to be a really good chocolate mousse cake, the chocolate mousse is indeed sweet however the layer of chocolate cake is not sweet at all. On top of that could taste a bit taste of wine but not too strong alcohol like rum or sherry from this cake, the first layer of the cake top with chocolate mousse with strawberry fruit then put in the second layer of the cake. A really nice chocolate strawberry cake.

Cake 4 (Vanilla Sponge Cake)















This is my birthday cake, I bought it by myself from Shangrila hotel. The price after discount 40% (after 8p) is IDR 131.000 (US $ 13.1 or SGD $ 19), quite cheap cake for international standard hotel bakery. The cake called "Vanilla Sponge Cake" but I wondered because I hardly tasted vanilla from the cake, the cake is made from 2 layers of cake, first layer top with apple crust then put some blueberry jam at the middle of the cake then they put the second layer of the cake. The taste is ok but the cake is too sweet which not into my liking so that's why the chef put the apple and blueberry jam which have sour taste to balance the sweetness of the cake. The 1st birthday that I celebrated in my hometown after 5 years in Singapore, not bad cake after all.
