I just wanted to show off my cake. It was my first time making a real birthday cake, with layers and icing around it, and I'm quite pleased with how it looked.
The inspiration was mainly for the looks, as it was a matcha cake, and mine was just dyed green with food colouring. I don't have any photos of the inside as it disappeared quickly, but it was just regular sponge cake and strawberry filling.
