In the morning I decided to make this mini Sacher cakes. I had a good start, but when I baked my dough it became hard and it was tough to make the circles, some of them got broken. I had an opened jar of blueberry Jam and used it. It wasn’t enough so I bought apricot jam and continued with it.

In the end I couldn’t shape the “S” letter with the whipped cream, but it looked beautiful. When I tasted it appeared to be VERY VERY  sweet and delicious. J
