Japanese Christmas Cake "Season's Greetings" Card
If you’ve spent time in Japan during Christmas, you’ll know how popular strawberry shortcake is—a delightfully airy sponge topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The tradition of eating strawberry shortcake on Christmas day isn’t rooted in religion at all, but in the story of Japan’s growth after World War II. Normally such ingredients were rare and considered a luxury, but as Japan’s economy took off after the war, more and more people could afford to make and buy this special dessert.
My rendition of the cake includes a daruma—why? Well, in Japanese a snowman is called a yuki-daruma, or “snow daruma”—I opted to make an actual daruma out of snow for a cute touch!
