little angel

this little angel in my life has been asking me to make her birthday cakes for the last few years, from princess to mermaid. this year, she has moved on to angels...

i tried making the wings with cookies, and they turned out to be too heavy for the angel to "carry", so i made them from rice krispies treats, coated with shredded coconut. seems to work better, and i love the leftover rice krispies treats. i also tried to use a new recipe for the whipped cream, tasted so good that i kept on eating the leftover...

happy birthday, J!

what? butter sponge cake with mascarpone cream
occasion? J's 8th birthday
