Making a simple strawberry cake.

When my daughter was 3 years old, she made strawberry cake with me. I prepared simple materials to make strawberry cake with my daughter. The materials are strawberry, fresh cream, and castella bread. Preparation of materials is not difficult. I bought fresh cream and castella bread at the bakery.
I cut bread and put one on my daughter and one on my plate. And I started to make it first. My daughter focused on my making process. Then daughter started making strawberry cakes like myself. My daughter was clumsy but she put cream on her bread hard. Cutting strawberries and applying cream to the bread in the process is my daughter's cooking activity. When the strawberry cake was finished, my daughter compared her cake to mine. My daughter wanted to eat the cake I made. We exchanged strawberry cakes made by each other. And we ate it. The strawberry cake was not pretty, but it was delicious.

You can make a variety of cakes using your favorite fruit instead of strawberry. Also, This simple cooking will keep the kitchen from getting dirty. It is good to make it simple before snack time. 


1. Cut the castella bread to a suitable size.
2. Apply fresh cream on the bread and put the sliced strawberries on.
3. Put a slice of bread on and cover it with fresh cream.
4. Decorate the cake with strawberries, favorite fruit, and chocolate.
