And even though this looks like the famous Lady M green tea crepe cake, there are no crepes here. Just crisp wafers made with my trusty <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chefs-Choice-839-Krumkake-Express/dp/B00006JL0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516856847&sr=8-1&keywords=krumkake+maker">krumkake maker</a>, matcha pastry cream and whipped cream. <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2611" src="https://kitchen3n.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/fullsizeoutput_7078.jpeg" alt="Green Tea Wafer Cake" /> I didn't use any one recipe for this - I kind of threw things together that I thought might work. And while this worked out beautifully (though I did have a near disaster when the whole thing almost slid off as I was transferring it to the fridge! Pastry cream is slick, yo), I'm already dreaming up alternate versions of this: nutella swiss meringue buttercream filling?

I don't use it that frequently so I'm still working off of the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jade-Leaf-Matcha-Green-Powder/dp/B00PFDH0IC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1516858889&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=matcha&psc=1">batch I bought a while ago</a>. <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2614" src="https://kitchen3n.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/fullsizeoutput_7075.jpeg" alt="Green Tea Wafer Cake" /> Hope you enjoy! And if you don't have a krumkake maker and don't feel like buying one and make it with crepes instead, please let me know! <p>Pastry cream recipe adapted from <a href="https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/pastry-cream-recipe">King Arthur Flour</a>.</p>
