Vanilla bean strawberry charlotte cake. Vanilla bean bavarian cream layered with balsamic macerated strawberries surrounded with ladyfingers brushed with mandarin orange syrup.

I learned from my mistakes in the mango charlotte, cut down the number of components and used a springform pan instead of a cake ring. This time it was good enough to eat(: Bavarian cream, almost like ice cream but at room temperature. It was what I had expected but a little too gelatinous.


First layer of strawberries, mandarin orange syrup brushed ladyfingers.


Strawberries on top of charlotte(:



Later at night: After unmoulding, with a regal red ribbon.
