First, softened cream cheese is uniformly smeared on the sponge cakes. Next, they are placed under cake slicers to create the perfect slice. Half-cut, fresh strawberries are added to it, creating a circular shape. After that, a generous amount of thick, fresh cream is spread on top, followed by another layer of the sponge base and cream, to make the cake extra rich. Once done, the slices are separated from the cake. Whipped cream is drizzled on top and garnished with one juicy strawberry each. And that's all about it! Creamy and tarty strawberry shortcake is ready to be savoured. The preparation comes from Tokyo's confectionery company Ginza Cozy Corner. Each slice is priced at 572 yen.
