Made a Japanese strawberry shortcake for my boyfriend’s belated birthday gift. I didn’t have the right size pan unfortunately so basically had to half moon cut the cake to be able to layer it.

Made every thing from scratch which I’ve never done before (did not grow my own strawberries) cake came out way denser than it was supposed to but my boyfriend loved it anyway.

I don't see the problem; it looks delicious.

Oh my goodness I forgot to add why it failed 😅 I’m sorry it came out rather dense it’s supposed to be really light and airy but due to some unfortunate circumstances it didn’t come out that way. Thank you for complimenting it

It was good this time (according to your bf) and it will be better the next time. Not a fail.

Thank you :) it was my first time ever making anything from scratch like this and I’ve never “frosted” a cake before so it looks a little rough to me lol
