Mango Cake

Mango Cake is one of my favourite cakes. It is so refreshing with whipping cream and cream cheese frosting.

HOW TO MAKE MANGO ROSE DESIGN

When I first tried to make the mango rose flower, I cut the mangoes very thick. This created a lot of spaces in between. I also started from the middle going outwards which made it harder to estimate how much space I need to leave for the final piping of the frosting.

I made a mango cake again for my friend's birthday. This time, I cut the mangoes very thinly and it resulted in a beautiful rose formation. This time, I started from the outside of the cake going in. For this method, you should start by piping the frosting around the cake. Then pick the tallest thin slices of mangoes to the smallest.
