This one is even suited for children age one and up, so it\u2019d be perfect for a young child as well, especially given its size. To make this cake ever more fun to make, and prettier to look at, you can use any decorations you\u2019d like. The instructions suggest adding fresh fruit, but you can also add other (edible) decorations if you\u2019d like. Inside the box you\u2019ll find one packet of cake mix, one packet of whip cream powder, one cake mould, one piping bag and one star piping tip.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[DIY Kit] Microwave Shortcake: Vanilla Cake with Cream, Fruit &amp; Chocolate | Pigeon\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fngdVq0BVeQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Flavour:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2665\u2665<br \/>\n<\/strong>The vanilla sponge cake layers themselves were a bit dry, but that is usually the case with cake made in a microwave. The cream had a smooth texture and a vanilla flavour to it, it sort of melted away in my mouth and it tasted more like milk with some vanilla added rather than whipped cream.<\/p>\n<p>Combined the cake and cream really complimented one another, but because of the slight dryness of the cake I would\u2019ve preferred to have had more cream. Then I\u2019d have cut the cake into three layers, filling each with a nice amount of cream and fruit.<\/p>\n<p>This cake is pretty neutral and goes well with whatever sweet toppings you add to it. I chose to add some strawberries, for sweetness and fruity flavour, and some chocolate candies. This went really well with the cake.<\/p>\n<p>If you do prepare this kit for a one year old child, make sure to add toppings and fillings that are safe for them. And cut it into small pieces, a big piece of cake might be hard to swallow because of the slight dryness of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time needed:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u29d7\u29d7<br \/>\n<\/strong>This is one of those kits that can take a little more time, but it\u2019s mostly up to you how much time you want to spend on decorating the cake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Difficulty level:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2605<\/strong><br \/>\nCertainly an easy kit to make, although you can make it more complex by adding complicated decorations. If you keep it simple it won\u2019t be hard to make, just follow the steps and it should turn out well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Similarity:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\ud83d\udcf7\ud83d\udcf7\ud83d\udcf7<\/strong><br \/>\nAs you can see on the pictures below, the final product looks pretty similar to the picture on the packaging. Since it is a cake, and you\u2019re free to decorate it however you\u2019d like, it probably won\u2019t look exactly the same. The biggest difference is mainly that the cake on the packaging looks a little fake, texture wise, and the cream is spread out more evenly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rgg-container\" data-rgg-id=\"10136\">    <div class=\"rgg-imagegrid captions-title captions-effect-none \" data-rgg-id=\"10136\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pigeon_Microwave-Short-Cake_4.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"Photographs by MuchMunchies\" class=\"rgg-simplelightbox size-full rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pigeon_Microwave-Short-Cake_4.png\" data-ratio=\"1.432684165961\" data-height=\"1181\" data-width=\"1692\" aria-label=\"\">\n                            <\/a>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pigeon_Microwave-Short-Cake_5.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"Photographs by MuchMunchies\" class=\"rgg-simplelightbox size-full rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pigeon_Microwave-Short-Cake_5.png\" data-ratio=\"1.354784081287\" data-height=\"1181\" data-width=\"1600\" aria-label=\"\">\n                            <\/a>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pigeon_Microwave-Short-Cake_6.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"Photographs by MuchMunchies\" class=\"rgg-simplelightbox size-full rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pigeon_Microwave-Short-Cake_6.png\" data-ratio=\"1.3336155800169\" data-height=\"1181\" data-width=\"1575\" aria-label=\"\">\n                            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Want to enjoy this kit again?<\/h4>\n<p>Although you could re-use the cake mould if you\u2019d like, this kit can be recreated really well without it.
