Jelly-filled Macaron Birthday Cake | 玫瑰果冻海绵蛋糕

Time flies, my little boy isn't so little anymore... Happy 14th Birthday Louis! 

Unlike the past year's birthday cakes, I made a very simple one for him this year. No cartoon characters and it's not a cute cake, he wanted an "unknown" cake, he told me: "Mommy, don't tell me what cake you're going to make, surprise me!" ... 

Here's the cake that I've made to surprise him, incorporating his favourite rose syrup jelly and macaron - a moist sponge cake filled with jelly bits and fresh cream frosting, topped with pastel colour macarons. A cool, sweet-looking yet not-so-childish cake that he absolutely loved!

The boy lit the birthday candle... 

Someone accidentally burns the cake topper while lighting the candle😄
luckily Mommy have many cake toppers, quickly found one and replaced it!
