The recipe for the cake base is my green tea sponge cake and it’s layered with vanilla ice cream. So get yourself a good tub of ice cream, and create heaps of space in the freezer, and you are good to go!

Mmm looks great!
Thanks!
This looks incredible, and so professional! I adore the (white chocolate?) border and the idea of layering a cake with icecream. Definitely trying to recreate this!
Simply gorgeous!
Hi Indigo,
Yes the border is indeed white chocolate. I hope you have fun recreating this.
Cheers,
Pearlyn
That is so beautiful! Nicely done. How do you make the decoration so beautifully/
The cake looks delicious and beautiful!
Thanks!
Whether you believe it or not Hillary, this is my first time making a full chocolate border as a deco. You are gonna need a really long piece of non-stick baking paper and work really quickly so the chocolate does not set before you wrap it around the cake. Enjoy!
Cheers,
Pearlyn
this is amazing! i was wondering how you did the border.. did you just wait for the chocolate to set like half way (room temp, fridge, freezer??) before you wrapped it around the cake?
thanks! sorry for the late reply. No…i spread the chocolate onto a baking parchment. allowed it to settle a little so it doesn’t drip all over when i lift it off, then immediately wrapped it around the cake. The coolness of the ice cream sets the chocolate almost immediately.
wow~! this cake looks really amazing! the chocolate decoration is great!
also, what kind of candles are those? they look like the sparklers used for new years!
the white chocolate deco looks beautiful! a very creative idea!
this cake is a great example that shows perfect stance
i love it
Hi,
I came accross your blog while looking for an idea for a green tea ice cream cake. I like the way you decorated your cake…very very nice. My question is have you ever tried a dark chocolate instead of white. If you do, how well does it go with green tea taste?
Thanks,
Yeny
Hi,
No I haven’t. The reason I used white chocolate is because the sweetness of the choc balances the bitterness of green tea. Try it and let me know!
Hi,
The cake looks delicious! Do you put white chocolate on the top surface before putting the strawberries syrups?
Hi,
No, the strawberries and the coulis went straight onto the ice cream.
