Since it's just a strawberry shortcake, why can't you just use an English language recipe?
I doubt anyone will translate that whole page for you, especially since this is your first post and you haven't contributed to the forum.

Google Translate

This is the best I'm going to offer. I thought about translating it, but then I saw it went on for pages and pages.

One thing: the translation translates "water" into "Wednesday" because the abbreviation for "Wednesday" is the kanji for "water."

I suggest you get an English recipe for strawberry shortcake, then compare the two.

Good luck with your diet! What's better is to lift weights to up your basal metabolic rate, so you can eat more calories and still lose weight.

Also, if you're on a diet, 1011 cal for a piece of cake is ridiculous. That is not a diet food, period. That's half the calories a non-active person should eat per day for all meals combined.

But is it a real cake or a toy cake? I mean, it is made with a sponge :O

Huuhuuummmm I guess after the word sponge there was 生地 :eek: If not wrong in English it is called Angelfood cake or sometimes also sponge cake.

It's a real cake- it's just skipping the actual cake part of the recipe and going straight onto 'how to decorate', but no actual sponges involved. Just cake and a gross amount of cream. :/

Sponge = sponge cake

Thanks that helps a lot

ahh so thats why it translates to wed, lol what makes you think I'm on a diet.

Not directed at me but Kyle's offline. He mentioned the diet because the blurb in japanese above the recipe says something like "As this sponge cake is made without butter, there's no need to worry (about eating it) if you're on a diet".

As Kyle pointed out, 1011 cal is not diet food. Anything with 1/2 pint of cream plus 2 oz sugar in JUST the decoration isn't healthy.

ah ok haha :D
