Christmas Cake


Christmas came and went here in Tokyo, and we enjoyed the day to the fullest. Santa brought presents, we played around the house, took an afternoon walk to the park, Skyped with family in the U.S., and made a lovely dinner of smoked salmon pasta with cream sauce. We also partook in the Japanese Christmas tradition of Christmas cake. This is a fluffy white cake with a layer of cream and strawberries, and lots of whipped cream frosting on top, similar to a really airy, milky strawberry shortcake. It even came with four bubble wrapped (!) strawberries for the top, and three small candles. Merry Christmas!
