Consisting of 13 layers of crepe, lemon mousse and topped with meringue, this cake was definitely a project! Making the crepes was really time consuming as they had to be made as thin as possible for best results. But other than that, the rest of the work was'nt difficult. The most fun part of making the cake was the last step which was blow-torching the meringue. Yeap, mum bought me a blow-torch=) Thanks mum, and happy mother's day! This one's for you.
There's the blow-torch beside the cake. And if you look closely you can actually see my reflection on my shiny kitchen table top..teehehe..
This bright picture was taken the second time the cake was made (without the fancy-shmancy pattern on top). It was delicious=) The crepes were soft and reminded the tasters of the traditional indonesian "kek lapis", the lemon mousse was light and refreshing, not too creamy or filling either. On top of that, the sweet meringue balanced the tangy lemon. So it's kind of a lemon meringue but with crepe in it. Im thinking of what more I can do with tze blow-torch now : P
