Orange cake and Orange swiss roll with orange cream cheese

When i first read this blog, 1st thing come to my mind was i am going to bake Rio - Blu cake for my girl for her coming birthday 1st June. She will definetly love it. :) and quickly i search Youtube and found a link teaching how to deco a cake to look like Rio - Blu - BOOKMARKED already. hehe...

Why i link this to my girl birthday cake?! Because i wanted to bake orange cake which is not so rich in favor and it is soft to eat because this is using chiffon matters, and best things was Wendy (blogger name) not using artificial coloring. :) Using blueberry to replace the color and this is a brilliant idea. :) love it ..

I am very satisfied with the cake texture, but not satified at all with the Orange Cream Cheese filling. :( sigh
Swiss roll still ok because i spread less orange cream cheese filling but i spread more to the cake. therefore you will feel the bitterness of the orange skin. So next time will not pandai-pandai replace the kumquat (original recipe called for kumquat) to orange. hehehe :P
