You can usually find this at specialty cake decorating stores. Otherwise if you would like a scratch recipe, I demonstrate how to make a yummy sponge cake here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDhEe8Z_SwI FOR THE CUSTARD: 2 cups milk 3 tablespoons caster sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 egg yolks 4 tablespoons corn starch My regular custard recipe calls for 3 tablespoons cornstarch but I decided to make it much thicker for this cake to ensure it doesn't seep out from the middle of the cake. To see the process for how to make this custard, see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcgbk1sh880 Chopped strawberries 1/2 cup Fresh raspberries 1/2 cup fresh blackberries 1/2 cup FOR THE MERINGUE: 200 grams egg white (5 to 6 eggs) pinch of salt 400 grams icing sugar Lemon or Vanilla extract optional, 1/2 teaspoon FOR THE CREAM: 500mls of heavy whipping cream 4 tablespoons icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract PIPING TIP: 6B by Wilton I purchased my little blow torch from a shop called Matchbox, which sells all kitchen and homeware products ranging from plates, to spatulas to cupcake tins. You could probably find one at your local craft store as well or online. And that's all the details I think :) thanks again for watching!! really play with this one, piping tip and texture wise escpecially. Or maybe colour the meringue (ooooohhhh...). I also promise using a blow torch isn't as scary as I probably made it out to be. My partner calls me calamity, I am probably one of the most clumsiest people I know, and I dared use a blow torch. If you are a child or adolescent, please make sure to get your parents or an adult to either do this for you or to be with you at the time just in case. Fire can be a serious danger, so still proceed with caution when using your blow torch :) I shall catch you guys again this Saturday!
