Thanks Sandra... I was so anxious to try the patterned cake rolls.. The idea of rolling it into a bouquet shape is mine and it impressed the birthday girl :)

Thank you Maria :)

Actually it's a very simple idea; you make some white batter, divide them to portions, color according to your design, and draw the patterns you want on the parchment paper (that's lining your baking tray). Stick it into the freezer for 10-15 minutes during which you start mixing your chocolate batter then get the tray out of the freezer, pour your chocolate batter onto it and bake it. I used a regular cake roll (swiss roll) recipe. When it was baked, I only needed a square out of the rectangular tray, so the rest of the cake, I shaped into a long triangle which extends at the top length of the cake (under the dark chocolate ganache & flowers) so that it tops the filling inside the cake roll.

I hope I didn't confuse you more!! LOL

It tasted great by the way; white chocolate ganache with strawberries are great and the addition of the dark chocolate (which is a bit bitter) balances the sweetness of the whole cake.
