PINEAPPLE PASTRY
This is a great recipe for all festive occassions. I doubled the recipe so I could have more layers. The cake was huge so everyone had a big portion. I used Non-dairy ready to whip topping instead of the cream. If using heavy whipping cream, u will have to add 2-3tbs confectioners sugar to the cream half way through whipping. Vanilla ice-cream is also a great option, but then the cake will have to kept in the freezer. Transfer to the refrigerator for sometime before serving.
