This was a trial attempt for a patterned sponge cake. It's made with a very light batter, small portions are colored and piped into the design on the bottom, chilled, and then un-tinted batter spread on top before baking.
I think it's not bad for a first attempt, and I freehanded the design, which could have used a bit more planning. Any advice or suggestions on improving for future attempts? I had difficulty with the designs spreading a bit and they didn't turn out as sharp as I'd have liked. I LOVE the concept and the way it really visually elevates a simple cake and allows the flavors to shine without being overwhelmed by frosting. I did a lemon sponge for this one – filled with a stabilized whipped cream and lemon curd.

This looks awesome!!
So pretty 😍
To prevent spreading, I think instead of chilling the design and then pouring the rest on top before baking, you should pre-bake the design first for just 2-4 minutes or so and cool, then pour the rest on top and bake! I haven’t tried it myself yet but that’s what it says to do in a book I have lol. 🙂
Your first attempt looks gorgeous! The colors are so vibrant and the design is beautiful.
it turned out so cute!

I do this for Swiss rolls, so I know how challenging it is. You did fabulous!
That is really cool.
It’s adorable! I think you did a great job.
I can’t wait to see more of these in your posts!
This is reminding me of De La Rosa Mazapán packaging 🙂
