Strawberry and vanilla bean cake. Strawberries and cream in cake form, for my grandma's birthday(: Vanilla genoise cake brushed with strawberry syrup layered with macerated strawberries, filled and frosted with vanilla bean chantilly cream.

Making the cake was happiness, whipping the eggs and sugar and watch it climb higher and high up the mixer bowl till it tripled in volume, macerating the strawberries until they were dripping in their juices, whipping the vanilla bean perfumed whipped cream.

Bad pictures, was late for the dinner. I bought cookbooks today, and got really cute cookie cutters for my birthday(:





My ice cream maker works!
