Double layer birthday cake

Overview

Dad is celebrating his birthday. This year is his 81st birthday. Dad is an optimist and very lively. Many relatives came to celebrate his birthday. Early in the morning, my father implicitly told me that I would just make him a small cake, and he also specifically told me not to use too much cream. Don’t worry, dad, little chef, I will not only make you a cake, but also a big cake, and it will be double-layered! And strictly follow your instructions, don't put too much cream, and still make the cake festive. It was also my first time to make a double-layer birthday cake. I baked an eight-inch and a six-inch chiffon cake respectively, filled them with strawberry and yellow peach, spread a thin layer of cream, and made buttercream to properly decorate the surface. I also learned this decoration secretly from the Internet. I practiced the Chinese character "longevity" several times. Hehe, although this cake was not particularly perfect, my father liked it very much after seeing it. He took out his camera and took many photos. Seeing his father’s satisfied smile, the little chef felt happy! Dear dad, my daughter wishes you good health and eternal happiness! As long as you are healthy and live a long life, it is the greatest happiness for your children!
