Good homemade ladyfingers, fromage blanc, a little mascarpone\u2026 absolutely delicious!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"charlotte-aux-fraises-pour-bebe\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strawberry Charlotte for Baby<\/h2>\n<p>I wanted to make a pretty cake for my daughter Sasha\u2019s birthday\u2014fresh, colorful, and filled with delicious juicy strawberries. A strawberry charlotte seemed like the perfect cake for the occasion! The biggest challenge was finding a good ladyfinger recipe. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/baby-ladyfinger-biscuits\/\">baby-friendly ladyfinger recipe is available here<\/a> for anyone who wants to make everything homemade &#x1f609;<\/p>\n<p>For the filling of this strawberry charlotte, I used fromage blanc, a little mascarpone, and strawberries: nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>This strawberry charlotte is actually very easy to make, so now it\u2019s your turn! Of course, you don\u2019t have to wait for baby\u2019s birthday to make it\u2014there doesn\u2019t have to be a special occasion to cook &#x1f609;<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you need to make this strawberry charlotte baby birthday cake recipe (from 12 months, for one small charlotte about 4 3\/4 inches \/ 12 cm in diameter):<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ingredients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>10 to 12 ladyfingers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>2\/3 cup fromage blanc (150 g)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>3 1\/2 tablespoons mascarpone (50 g)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1 2\/3 cups strawberries (250 g) + 6 to 8 strawberries for the top<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>A ribbon or gift-wrapping ribbon <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>One large cookie cutter or round cake ring, about 4 3\/4 inches (12 cm) in diameter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"preparation-du-gateau-danniversaire-pour-bebe\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing the baby birthday cake<\/h2>\n<p>Start by making the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/baby-ladyfinger-biscuits\/\">ladyfinger recipe I posted here<\/a>, doubling the quantities. Of course, you can also use store-bought ladyfingers. You\u2019ll get about 10 fairly thick ones.<\/p>\n<p>While the ladyfingers are baking, mix 2\/3 cup fromage blanc (150 g) with 3 1\/2 tablespoons mascarpone (50 g). I added a few drops of red food coloring to make the filling pink instead of adding it to the ladyfingers in the end\u2014for the surprise effect &#x1f609;.<\/p>\n<p>Add 1 2\/3 cups strawberries (250 g), hulled and cut into small pieces, then refrigerate.<\/p>\n<p>When the ladyfingers are baked and cooled, cut about 3\/4 inch (2 cm) off the end of each one (keep the trimmed pieces aside), then place the ladyfingers cut side down inside your cake ring, all around the edges. You can add a little mascarpone to the cut base to help stick them to the bottom so they stand upright.<\/p>\n<p>Place the lightly crushed ladyfinger pieces inside, at the bottom of the charlotte, then add the fromage blanc\/mascarpone\/strawberry mixture on top.<\/p>\n<p>Hull a few strawberries and cut them in half, then arrange them on top of the filling.<\/p>\n<p>Optional: add a few decorative fondant leaves for a little greenery.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the ring and tie a pretty ribbon around the ladyfingers. I didn\u2019t have one, so I used gift-wrapping ribbon\u2014the kind used for presents &#x1f609;.<\/p>\n<p>Refrigerate for about 30 to 45 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<p>Our baby birthday cake is ready, and everyone can enjoy it &#x1f642;<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-rating-container\">\n<div id=\"notation-7986-systeme1\" style=\"text-align: center; margin: 20px 0 60px 0;\">\n<h3 class=\"comment-reply-title\">Did you like this recipe?
