joy.rose.sponge.roll

you drove through the country road all the way to amsterdam for a client's meeting. you feel more relax after looking at the green fields, the sheep's and the cows, even you didn't stop to take in the moment of relaxation but just en-route to a meeting. 
the meeting over run but the weather is fine, you came home in day light and in the mood to start churning something that you have attempted a few times but never pretty enough to show it here.  this time you use a much bigger and shallower baking tray...

rose sponge roll or generally called as swiss roll, using a souffle sponge roll cake recipe, you got the flower idea from two talented desperate housewives.
you are over joy, it's the first time you able to roll a cake without crack and it looks graciously pretty
 and seriously fluffy, elegantly scented in rose chantilly cream and a dash of joyful spirit
 you just love the rose petal prints on the cake.
and one more recipe tried from this japanese cook book but more to go... and you are getting excited again with baking!!

you feel a lot more relaxed and in fact filled with joy with this baking experience. you never realize baking can be so therapeutics and it lifts you up from your situation.
