Rainbow Swiss Rolls with a Good Wish

It 's been sad these days, because of the earthquake in Sichuan , China. All those pictures, news stories shake my heart. Hours of hours sitting in front of computer searching news of this massive earthquake becomes my daily routine.

This rainbow swiss roll was made weeks ago. With this rainbow roll I hope all the people in earthquake areas can recover and rebuilt their life, and wish China, this suffered nation can be strong again.
