A couple hours after the relaunch, I did something I never thought I would do. I finally opened up about my blog on my personal Facebook page. I had always avoided mentioning anything about my blog because I was afraid of criticism and what others would think. Food blogging is a pretty small community and other than me, I didn’t know of anyone else who was also into it. I was afraid that people would think that it’s totally lame so I kept quiet about it. What happened when I announced it was super unexpected. My friends, and even people who were just acquaintances, encouraged me.
I still can’t believe the response I received for my blog relaunch! I have to ask… did my mom pay you all to be my friends?
All joking aside, I want to say thank you. I can’t believe I’ve come to my 4th year of blogging. Thank you for sticking by me even during my long absences and thank you for enduring my terrible grammar. A lot has happened in the past 4 years. I’ve reached many milestones and through it all I’ve grown into someone completely different (for the better). Thank you for being a part of that and letting me share my life with you.

Instructions
Biscuilt Cuillere
- Preheat your oven to 180C, if you have a convection, turn on the fan too
- Line a baking try with parchment paper, spray with cooking spray and set aside
- In a standing mixer, cream the yolks until pale and fluffy
- In a second clean bowl of a standing mixer, whisk the eggs whites until soft peaks
- Gradually add the sugar in in thirds
- Add some meringue into the fluffy yolk mixture and fold to combine until well blended
- Pour entire airy yolk mixture into the meringue and gently fold to combine well
- Fold in the flour gently until well mixed
- Spread the mixture evenly over the baking tray using an angled spatula and bake for 5 minutes
For the ganache montée vanille
- Boil 100g heavy cream with honey
- Pour hot cream over white chocolate in a bowl
- Let stand for 1 minute then stir until all chocolate is melted
- Pour in the 300g of heavy cream, stir until well combined
- Put into fridge overnight
- When you need to use it, take the bowl out of the refrigerator and whip it in a standmixer
Assembly:
- Cut out layers of cake from the baking tray, I used a 6" cutter and got 3 layers
- Place one layer down on a plate/stand, spread with 1/3 of the ganache, sprinkle and even layer of chopped strawberries
- Place a second layer on top, repeat with 1/2 of the ganache and the rest of the chopped strawberries
- Place final layer of cake on top, spread the rest of the ganache on top and garnish with whole strawberries
