Tips:

1. The cream of homemade birthday cake should of course be natural, that is, animal, and it should have a good shaping effect. Brands such as President, Tower, and Blue Windmill are all okay. Others such as Oudebao are not suitable for decorating;
2. The room temperature should not be too high when whipping the cream, otherwise it will affect the setting. A kitchen without heating in winter is suitable, and air-conditioning is best in summer.
3. The amount of this raw material is between 6-inch and 8-inch cake molds, either can be used;
4. The fruit is more colorful with strawberries. This cake is still made in winter. Strawberries are not easy to buy and expensive.
5. The basic tools for making birthday cakes: egg beater, butter knife, decorating mouth and decorating bag. As for the turntable, it does not matter.
