Christmas Layer Cake | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

Red and green Christmas colors are pretty gorgeous ❤️💚

My daughter drew a rough sketch of the cake 🎄

I always recommend to do so, because it results way better in this way 😉

Christmas Layer Cake

15cm (6-inch) Cake:

I used 1 package of this Sponge Cake Mix to make 4 layers:

To make 2 layers (1 color) of 15cm (6-inch) sponge cake, you mix the below ingredients with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Then bake in the oven at 170C (338F) for about 15-20 minutes.

* 100g (1/2 bag) of cake mix

* 1.5 eggs

* 2 tsp. of milk + food coloring

Simply put the whipped cream between the layers. White cream let the colors stand out 🎄 Enjoy!!!

Koala's March Chocolate Candy House | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

This homemade kit includes Koala's March and the best selling snacks from LOTTE: Toppo, CRUNKY Wafers, and Ghana milk chocolate. The kit is not necessary. Each snack is available at stores.

What other tools you need:

double boiler

hot water

spoon

knife

cutting board

plate or a try

As seen in the instructions, there are two houses you can make, a big one or a small one, but there’s only enough candies in the kit to create one house. Be careful ;)

It also contains 3 different backgrounds for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and one you can use all year round. They are so cute!

Koala's March Chocolate Candy House

Aside from chocolate house you can also create a seesaw, a bench and a slide using leftover pieces, so don't eat them too soon!

Last but not least you can put Koala's March around the house and in the playground. You can spend even more time decorating the house! Be creative :)

This kit is sold offline at about 10 bucks in Japan. Bit expensive online.

What’s Koala’s March?

Koala's March is a bite-sized biscuit confectionary with a chocolate filling. One of 365 different lovely koala characters is printed on each biscuit :)

Whipped cream or ice cream filling is really good. It adds vanilla flavor and sweetness. Makes it moist and super delicious. Must try!
