Strawberry Cat Swiss Roll

 This is the third in a series of five cute animal Swiss rolls made using baby food puree. Strawberry cats!

See the bear Swiss roll over here and the chick Swiss roll over here.

I made them using strawberry puree from Popote. The puree contains a mix of apple and strawberry but you may make your own pure strawberry puree if you wish.  The great thing about using baby food purees for bakes is it doesn't contain additives and it's super smooth! 

I shared the detailed recipe and video tutorial in my Instagram reel over here:

I will just share the ingredient list for your convenience.

I didn't add any food colouring as the strawberry emulsion already contains some red food coloring.
