Kawaii Swiss Cake Roll Tutorial - Japanese Book Review : Chao Roll Deco Building More!

As if the Swiss Cake Roll was not pretty and cute enough as it is, now you can make the cutest darn cake rolls ever with the help of this great book:

Chao Roll Deco building more! 

Roll Cake Patterns, By Junko

 This is a beautiful Hardcover Book with 87 pages of wonderful pictures, recipes, and inspiration! 

This is the second book by this author who released the first book in 2010. After an insane response from readers who loved these patterned swiss roll cakes, this second book was released in 2011 featuring cute animal patterns and ultra kawaii kid patterns!

Some of the designs include; Relax Bear ( Rilakkuma Bear), Pikachu, Kappa Flower, Panda, Rabbit, Smile Faces, Trains, and much much more!

Relax, Pikachu, Kappa flower, panda, rabbit, Smiley Face, trains, etc. 

Here is a close up showing how to pipe the little smile faces! So simple, so cute. 

 

I love just the plain polka dots on the right too! How perfectly kawaii is that! 

The Author, Junko has a Blog which she started in March of 2008 called "Cake Cute Twist a Little". 

Not only are these cakes really really cute and kawaii, but they are also super tasty. The author took great pride in making sure these recipes are moist and delicious. 

Scroll to the bottom of this post for a video promotional for this book from the author! 

Each Recipe comes in an easy to cut out format, so you can take it out of the book, and keep the book super pretty while you are cooking with your recipe. 

Notice the creamy center! When I make these cakes, I love to use my own version of whipped cream which is only very lightly sweet, and has gelatin mixed into it to keep it stable. I am not sure what this author is using for her filling?

I usually make my rolls to be a little thinner with more of a spiraling inside, but I am very intrigued to try to make them in this style. I think it works so well for putting fruits in the center of the cream! 

Same design with two different colorways. This book will inspire you to take her designs and turn them into many different styles to suit your own personal preference. 

Okay people in case you have not been inspired enough for one book, now lets check out all the amazing toppings she puts on the these bad boys!  Ears, really - how freakin'cute is that!?

This is a beautiful topping! 

My Favorite :

Pink cake, with little bunnies, filled with strawberries and cream, then topped with strawberries, blueberries, candy bunnies, and chopped pistachios! 

As usual delicious and beautiful. 

This picture actually also got my thinking about how much those strawberries look like little gnome hats...I am getting inspired here people! 

Alright are some images of the back cover so you can get all the info you need to go out there any get a copy for yourself! 

Okay and one more parting shot for ya  : 

Here is the promotional video for this book:

We're you able to get 10 people? I really, really want this book too and luckily my mom is Japanese so can translate for me. Please add me to your list!

[GERARDO ZERTUCHE]

Hi. Congratilations. It is wonderfull
I need one of these book.
How can i get one ?

[Jenny Spins]

I just heard back from a company in Japan. I can get the books, and they would sell for $40 a piece, but I need 10 people to pre-order them before I buy them.

If you guys really want a copy, comment below or send me an email, then when I get 10 people I will send out paypal invoices to accept the pre-payment, and then ship them out once they arrive.

I bought my copy of this book in Japan, and I have never seen a copy for sale here in the United States.

It can be hard to search for because there are several translations of the name into english.

Here are some common titles I have seen in called:

1. Chao Roll Deco building more!
Roll Cake Patterns

2. Deco would make roll! Roll cake with patterned

3.Roll cake would make more ★ Deco patterned roll! Hen and animal character

Just remember when you search for it that the authors name is Junko!
