Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (115 grams)
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3 egg white

- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Decorating
- 200 mls thickened cream
- 7 strawberries
- 10 raspberry
- 15 chrysanthemum flowers edible
- 2 prigs mint (or another green edible)
- 2 drops food colouring pink or red
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to a moderate temperature (160 degrees celsius, fan-forced).

Decorating
- Sit cake on a serving plate or stand.
- Whip cream to form stiff peaks. Divid the cream in half and add food colour drops to one half. Stir through a little to get a marbled effect.
- Use piping bags (or a freezer bag with the corner cut out) to pipe small and larger amounts of cream on the top of the cake and around the cake plate. (See video above)
- Place washed and air dried berries, flowers and mint around the top of the cake and around the cake plate. (See video above)
