[2nd contest] A Royal Dance [Lv.Advanced]
Updated: Apr 28, 2021
This is a three layers dessert invaded in white chocolate with mousse, raspberry or strawberry jelly, and a sponge cake. When I thoughts of the recipe, I was thinking of flavors that go together perfectly and fit with summer. What immediately came to mind were strawberries, raspberries, and lemons. I wanted something delicate in flavor, light, and delicious at the same time. I wanted to try something new, something I've never done before, and took a risk. I have always wanted to make beautiful desserts and to see smiles on people's faces. I think it is the perfect dish that represents everything I want.
My name is Leyah Buster, and I'm 14 years old. I've been cooking for 11years, and I started to help out in the kitchen, making breakfast and other meals at three years old. I used to be horrible at baking up until two years ago. Now I have a business, and I'm becoming a young entrepreneur. My favorite thing about what I do is to be able to see the smiles on people's faces when they taste my food.
