My first ever attempt in making a Mousse Cake. Was nervous before making it because, if I stuff this up, my dear friend won't have a cake for her birthday.
The most fun bit in the process of making this cake was decorating!! (though I still think there's lots of room for improvement)
Love strawberries on green tea cakes ^^

Everyone loved it!! Thanks Yochana for a such good recipe.
Myself, I think I need to improve more on the distinction on the cake layers!
