Vanilla Sponge Cake (Eggless)

Hello Friends!

I have chosen Vanilla Sponge cake as it has no eggs and replaced it with yogurt as It goes great for vegetarian friends who does not want to use cake with eggs. My friend wants mini yogurt based simple cake with little bit cream on the top for their taste approval... I have decided why not use cut out cakes with the help of cookie cutter circle size. I want to give idea and impress my friend...I made round shaped 8 inch cake and cut into round shaped mini cake with the help of round cookie cutter....Is n't it nice idea? My friend had enjoyed it with a big bite on it  and cannot wait to bake cake for their next order on birthday!!!Hoping to get through!!!!!

Here goes the recipe Thanks a lots Priya!!!!

• Take out the cake,level it if you want and place it on the cutting board,Place the cookie cutter and cut into desired shapes and repeat it till you get all cut circle mini cakes.

• In a piping bag with star tip 21 wilton tip put the frosting inside the piping bag and decorate it as flower and place the pearl sprinkle on the top of the flower and it looks so simple.
