Non Bake Kiwi Yogurt Cake



Yesterday was my friend B's birthday so I made her a cake. I wanted to make a different color cake as compared to my previous cakes so I will have various colors of cakes profiles. Since I had just bought some kiwi so I decided to make an ice-cream alike kiwi cake for her. The cake was mixed and matched from various recipes and also with some of my creation :) To my surprise, this cake was a simple and easy cake, it was done up within 1 hr.
I had made a mistake, I should have beat using spactular instead of electric mixer to whisk for the step 2 because using the electric mixer to whisk had created a lot of bubbles where there was lot of holes on the surface of the cake, I belived there will be alot of holes in the cake too :(. I will bear this in mind not to make same mistake in future.


I am not creative at all so I was cracking my head to think about how to decorate the cake with kiwi and finally, I came out this simple deco.
