15 days of Chinese New Year end with glutinous rice balls in a sweet broth.

Black Sesame is my favourite flavour of sweets. I love it because it is a wonderfully weird colour and nutty flavours. So I decided to make a dark grey cake.

I tried to make a tasty Swiss roll with different flavours. Struggled with the sponge because that is how life works.
