Strawberry Watermelon Cake

Picture this: layers of delicate cream infused with rose water nestled between almond dacquoise, a delectable nut meringue. But that's not all—this cake takes a unique twist by incorporating refreshing slices of watermelon, topped with succulent strawberries, grapes, and delicate rose petals. However, it's worth noting that while the watermelon's addition is a stroke of brilliance, the strawberries in some instances can be rather sour, adding a tangy contrast to the overall sweetness.

Raspberry Lychee Cake

The cake has a rich chocolate biscuit base with layers of raspberry marshmallow and rose-scented cream, topped with layers of lychees and raspberries. The delicate sweetness of lychees and raspberries burst onto your palate, perfectly complementing the chocolatey goodness below. I like this more than the most IGed cake.
