お嬢様 (Ojousama): Strawberry lemon entrements

Because I love to be in the world of dream, I'm so crazy about game, manga and anime, ^^.


And this entrements came from the fact that I love to dream. In Japan, you can find a cafe with a theme that you're the お嬢様 (Ojousama = young lady) or the lady of the house and the person who serves you is your personal butler (ok, you have to admit that there is a time limit, about 1- 1.30 hours ^^ but you can go back and live in the dream again, haha). I know that it sounds crazy for some people but think about turning into someone special, being pampered and surrounded by beautiful things, delicate china cups and saucers and good looking butlers (most important, hehe), it's good occasion, right?
I got the idea from the sweets that served in 執事喫茶 Swallowtail (one of Butler cafe in Japan), they are so beautiful. Looking at them makes me want to crate the entrements that's sweet and elegant at the same time. So, it's time for me to dream and make it come true.
This entrements represents a young, elegant and beautiful lady, she is so sweet by her look in pink and fluffy dress (strawberry whipped cream), but think again, inside she is a bit wild because of the youth (I use lemon to imitate it). The cream outside is soft and sweet, but when you taste the lemon Crème Brûlée you will be happy with the contrast of the flavor. 
The best way to serve it is with delicious hot tea, in a beautiful china cup and don't forget to feel special because everyone born to be special (that's what I always believe, ^^).
