Fairy Tail Guild Food: a Wizard's Feast Japanese Style

The Fairy Tail guild throws feasts constantly, and Erza Scarlet is famous for her love of strawberry cake. The noisy wizard parties with mountains of food are a favourite backdrop for the anime's comedic scenes.

History and origin

Fairy Tail is a popular anime/manga by Hiro Mashima, debuting in 2009. The wizard guild as family, where shared food cements bonds. Erza's strawberry cake became her personal meme.

Key ingredients

Erza's strawberry cake is a Japanese 'strawberry shortcake': soft sponge, whipped cream frosting, fresh strawberries and pretty decoration. This is not a classic Western cake but the light Japanese version.

How to cook at home

For a Japanese-style sponge, beat eggs with sugar until pale and fluffy, then fold in flour carefully. Whip 33%+ cold cream in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters.
