Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Cream Cake 2
“What should I cut them into?” Su Wanyu rolled up her sleeves and walked in.
“Just cut them into small chunks or slices, that should be fine.”
Once the cake base in the rice cooker was ready, she spread the whipped cream on the cake base and even tried to pipe some flowers, but it ended in failure.
In the end, she used the fruit Su Wanyu had cut to garnish the cake.
Since it was her first time making it, the appearance wasn’t very appealing, but just having it take shape was enough to satisfy Jiang Mianmian.
“Daughter, wife, what are you two doing?” Just as the mother and daughter were admiring their masterpiece, Jiang Changhai walked in and asked in confusion after seeing the simple birthday cake.
“Dad, you’re back? This is a fruit cake Mom and I made together, try some,” Jiang Mianmian said as she took a knife to cut the cake and handed pieces to her parents.
Su Wanyu had been eager to try her daughter’s cake while watching her make it, and she couldn’t stop salivating at the sweet scent of the cream.
She quickly picked up a big piece with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up instantly.
It was sweet, soft, and had a rich creamy flavor.
She extended a thumb in unstinting praise to Jiang Mianmian, saying, “Daughter, this dessert you’ve made is so tasty, where did you learn to do this?”
Seeing his wife lavish such praise, Jiang Changhai quickly took a bite as well: “Mmm, not bad, not bad.”
It wasn’t overly sweet like the pastries sold outside but had a strong and rich taste of cream instead.
“Hehe, Mom, I saw this in a newspaper abroad. It’s called a ‘birthday cake,'” Jiang Mianmian explained.
“Birthday cake? Is it for eating at birthdays?” Jiang Changhai keenly asked.
“Yes, Dad, it’s for eating at birthdays. I was just practicing this time. When it’s my birthday, I’ll invite everyone to enjoy the birthday cake,” Jiang Mianmian said with glee.
“Alright, daughter, tell me what ingredients you need for the cake, and I’ll go buy them,” Jiang Changhai generously offered.
“Dad, you don’t need any special ingredients, just help me reserve a can of milk at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the milk today was actually spared for me by the saleslady,” Jiang Mianmian said.
The milk at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was usually sold in the morning, and Jiang Mianmian had gone too late, so the milk was already sold out.
Luckily, the salesperson knew her and spared some of her own purchased milk for them.
“Alright, I’ll reserve it for you when I go to work tomorrow. Oh, daughter, for your upcoming birthday, would you like to invite your schoolmates to your party? I see Wang Li and the others having such lively birthdays.”
Jiang Changhai thought that since it was his daughter’s first full-year birthday, it shouldn’t end just like before with just a family meal.
He wanted to have a lively and fun celebration with her classmates, just like they did at Wang Li’s house.
Jiang Mianmian didn’t mind either way but wouldn’t reject her father’s earnest affection.
“Then, I’d like to invite Zhong Yuan, Tian Wei, as well as Wang Li and Sister Lanlan to my birthday party,” Jiang Mianmian counted off her friends she usually played with.
“Daughter, aren’t you forgetting someone?” Su Wanyu winked at her as a reminder.
“Huh? Mom, are you talking about Brother Yu?” Jiang Mianmian knew immediately to whom her mother was referring.
“Yeah, Brother Yu is so good to you, it wouldn’t be right not to invite him to your birthday, would it?” Su Wanyu said, not approving of the omission.
