The two discussed the wholesale market until the aroma of the steamed cake base wafted through the air. Xu Nianhua hurriedly took it out.
Without an oven, the steamed cake base fell a bit short in appearance and texture, but the soft steamed cake, once smothered with cream, shouldn't taste too different.
As for the cake decoration, Xu Nianhua felt a bit regretful, as there weren't suitable ingredients at hand. When the time came, they could adorn it with watermelon, which would still look nice.
Xu Nianhua set the steamed cake base aside to cool. Seeing the time was right, she took out the cream and used a fruit knife to spread it bit by bit over the cake. Smoothing it out evenly wasn't an easy task.
With Pei Yicheng's help, Xu Nianhua finally finished making the cake. She garnished it with pieces of watermelon. She even painstakingly scooped out many small watermelon balls resembling red pearls to embellish the cake. It looked exceptionally beautiful!
