抹茶のスポンジ X かぼちゃのクリーム

I'm sure many of you know about the popular japanese app "Nameko Saibai" (fungi cultivation), if not, you should really check it out because it's extremely cute :D The best part of it is that you get to collect different species of Nameko, my favourite ones are "No. 25 True love本命なめこ" (because it pops out from a box - how cute is that!), "No.14 Stewtwoナベなめこ", "No.57 Gourmand 食いしん坊なめこ" (because it's similar to me in a way?), "No.49 Bridalブライダルなめこ" (because it's too pretty), "No.54 Fireworks" (because it turns into a beautiful firework when you harvest it...just like a real one!) and many more...OHHH the most important one "No. 47 Kappa かっぱなめこ"！Another reason to play this game is to collect all the nameko wallpapers! However...it take AGES to harvest the required amount of nameko in order to obtain the wallpaper you like. 

 　　

After reading the recipe book that I bought in Vanguard, I immediately had an urge to make a kappanda swiss roll...Okay I did, and that cracked. -0-' So, I attempted to make ANOTHER one until I SUCCEED. AND YES I DID! I originally planned to make another kappanda swiss roll, but after seeing my sister's nameko folder, I decided to make a nameko swiss roll instead (since I like it, and many others like it too). 

I slightly tweaked the 花かっぱ recipe to make this roll cake.
